The LS-7010 CCD optical micrometer measures targets as small as .04 mm with an accuracy of ±.5 µm and a repeatability of ±.06 µm. Reportedly half the size of other optical micrometers, the compact LS-7010?s measuring head is only 9 inches long. The measuring range is .04 to 6 mm.

The LS-7010 is designed for use with specialized, precision applications such as catheters and a broad range of small parts and components. One model includes a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) camera in the receiver head, which images the target area on the target-viewer monitor. The monitor enables users to quickly and accurately position the target in the beam for more precision.

Unlike some laser scanning micro-meter systems, the LS-7010 measuring head uses no motor or rotating-prism mechanism. A high-intensity LED light source and an HL-CCD (high-speed, linear CCD) offer speed and accuracy. The sampling rate of 2400 samples/sec is reportedly two times that of conventional laser scan micrometer systems. With no moving parts, the LS-7010 measuring head generates no heat or vibration.
