Video Analyser-2000
Code 250D
The most advanced computerised high definition system for the microscopic analysis of fibers, yarns and fabrics.
The system is composed by:
- Leica Biological Microscope.
- Leica S tereo-Microscope.
- Professional colour Video camera with 1/2’’ CCD.
- Optical fibre illumination device (150W) with two 50 cm arms .
- S pecial «Mesdan Video Analyser» software.

- PHILIPS 17’’ LCD Monitor (or equivalent).
- EPSON STYLUS COLOR high quality printer.
- Sample preparation kit for longitudinal and sectional analysis (microtome, slides and covers, immersion oil and other accessories)
- Fabric support kit for the analysis of irregularities in woven and knitted fabrics and for the measurement of the weft and warp density per cm.
- Equipment functioning instructions and sample preparation literature.
- Calibration slide (for the system calibration control).
- Microsoft Office software package for the statistics processing and report production.
EQUIPMENT SUITABLE TO:
- Perform in a fast and easy way the fineness analysis of single fibres, by operating with the live image and by means of the mouse only.
- Identify the different fibres contained in a blend and analyse the composition percentage, by operating with the live image, in accordance with the IWTO 8, IWSTM 24, ISO 137, ASTM D2130 international standards.

be easily detected.
- Check the purchased material (searching for possible foreign fibres) and identify the type of fibre, comparing it with the fibre pictures stored in the DataBank, with both the longitudinal and the sectional views.

- Analyse the yarn structure and detect possible defects. Check the single threads of a twisted yarn; check the single yarn fibres.
- Measure the count of circular section yarns and filaments in Dtex or den .
- Check and measure the quality and shape of Lycra or synthetic multifilament single
threads.
- Detect, identify and measure possible impurities contained in textile materials (neps, pollution due to foreign fibre content in a fabric, oil or grease content in a yarn).
- Analyse the compactness of non-woven fabrics.
- Perform a micro analysis of yarns and fibre sections.
- Measure section surfaces and perimeters.
- Analyse mechanical parts (i.e. needle points, spinnerets, etc).
Example of spinnerets
Example of a nozzle of a splicer mingling chamber .
Example of spinning rings
- Perform a macro analysis of a yarn section.
Example of an indigo dyed yarn section, extracted from a denim fabric
- Reduce the fabric warp and weft density to a cm or a inch.
The operator simply traces a reference line of desired length on the warp and weft and identifies the number of threads. The «Mesdan Video Analyser» software automatically determines the number of threads per cm (and inch).
The collected data are automatically exported onto an excel sheet that produces a report with the thread reduction each cm (and inch).
- Process, store and print the produced measurements and the minimum, medium and maximum values, CV% and distribution graphs.
I.e. count analysis of a circular section fibre, in tex and den: data are automatically processed; the report can be either printed or stored.

OF VISION (mm)
- The mentioned dimensions and final magnifications also depend on the hardware in use.
- The above mentioned magnifications and fields of vision have been calculated by using a 17” monitor with 1280X1024 resolution.
PROFESSIONAL VIDEO-CAMERA with 1/2’’ CCD;
compared to the 1/3’’ CCD, it has a much wider field of vision – hence a wider surface of the sample is visualised – and a quicker reaction to light variations. Complete with achromatic C step connector with 1:1 lens, for the insertion on the microscope, to give the maximum contrast, colour and planarity quality.
SYSTEM COMPOSITION

and mechanical parts like traveller, needles and spinnerets.
- High quality and precision Microscope
- Illuminated base. Adjustable light intensity and direction, particularly suitable for the analysis of fabrics
- High precision focussing device

150W OPTICAL FIBRE ILLUMINATION DEVICE (cold light)
with two 50 cm semi-rigid fibre optic goosenecks. Necessary for a perfect illumination of a sample from different adjustable angles.
MESDAN VIDEO ANAL YSER SOFTWARE
High flexibility to perform measurements on stored images as well as on live images (in accordance with International Standards).
Measurements of lengths,
surfaces, perimeters, angles, distances between two points or lines or objects.
The software allows to save a picture (complete with measurements and comments)
into the Data Bank and to compare the live picture with a stored one (or more simultaneously).
It is possible to attach to the image an informative chart, containing the material composition, the type of lens in use and other information; this chart can be opened with a simple mouse click and can be printed together with the picture.
All the measurements can be exported into an Excel template for the data processing (and to produce statistics and comparative graphs). The operator can also create self-made Excel
templates, according to his requirements. Languages in use: Italian, English, Spanish, Portuguese and Polish.
The software is provided with a ready­to-use Excel template to perform on 5 different materials: fibre % content in a blended yarn; perimeter and surface calculation; count measurements on perfectly circular section yarns; fabric warp and weft density reduction to cm or inch; general counting on lengths. The obtained data allow to produce reports with statistics (CV%, mean values, percentages, etc) and comparative graphs, that can be either printed or stored.
Fineness analysis of a blend with 3 components
1) Window to display the live picture: it is possible to store and/or print a picture complete with comments and measurements. It is then possible to perform measurements and send them to an Excel template in order to obtain statistics.
2) View finder window on the area where measurements are being taken, in order to guarantee the maximum measure accuracy.
3) Material chart: the name of the material to be tested is inserted here (the measurements on the picture will be expressed in different colours); if necessary, the measurements of every material will be inserted automatically in different Excel columns.
The simple and intuitive application bar makes the software easier to use also for less expert operators.
The software includes a Data Bank with reference pictures that can be personalised according to the user’s needs.
In order to help the operator and guarantee the maximum accuracy, different special features are available: i.e. light and colour adjusting can be made digitally through the software (as well as mechanically, by operating on the microscope filters).
Personal Computer
