Chapter 011 Improve the lighting system?
Song Tao is not just a fool. He has liked to fiddle with various instruments and equipment since he was a child. After going to college, he often used jewelry microscopes, so he had his own ideas about improving the lighting system of XTL165.
This is not the knowledge brought by the Stone God system, it is entirely his own extracurricular knowledge reserve.
Ling Yue continued to pack up his documents and said casually: "What do you think? The magnification architecture of the microscope is complex, especially the lens. The research involved is very in-depth and there is no possibility of random replacement at all."
Song Tao smiled: "Of course I'm not talking about changing the amplification system, I mean improving the lighting system."
Ling Yue shook his head disapprovingly: "Isn't the lighting system just the lights used to illuminate gems on a microscope? How much impact can improve those things have on the imaging effect?"
He specializes in his profession. As a doctorate in geology, Ling Yue is proficient in using various identification instruments, but he does not have an in-depth understanding of the internal structure.
Moreover, in her opinion, although Song Tao has a good professional level in jewelry appraisal, if it involves instrument design issues, the appraisal ability alone is far from enough.
Song Tao knew that she didn't believe it, so he signaled her to come over: "Team leader, you might as well listen to my thoughts."
Ling Yue quickly packed up her things and then looked over suspiciously. When Song Tao saw that she was willing to listen to her thoughts, his favorability suddenly increased a little. Although this team leader had a sharp personality, he was still a good person.
Song Tao first pointed to the top light source: "The top light source of XTL165 uses a 6W ordinary fluorescent lamp. The light illumination is not enough, and the rated power cannot adjust the light and darkness. Therefore, when observing the surface of the gem, the brightness cannot be adjusted according to the specific situation."
Ling Yue nodded thoughtfully: "There is indeed a problem, continue."
Song Tao then turned on the bottom light source, turned on the light shield, and adjusted it to dark-domain lighting.
"The bottom light source uses a 20W ordinary halogen bulb, which has a short service life and high heat. There is a sintered tumor injected with halogen element gas at the top of the bulb, which will produce a focus effect like a convex lens. Therefore, when observing the gemstone, an image of a lamp bead will appear in the background, which will affect the observation inclusion."
While listening, Ling Yue put down the schoolbag in her hand. Thinking about these two aspects Song Tao said carefully, it is indeed a problem with XTL165, but they are usually only responsible for identifying gems and do not pay much attention to the equipment.
Seeing that Ling Yue was intrigued, Song Tao switched to Liangdian Lighting to continue to explain seriously.
"The dark and bright areas use the same bottom light source, which causes some light to be dispersed by the arc-shaped bottom light source reflector when the light blocking baffle is removed and some light is dispersed by the arc-shaped bottom light source reflector. When using bright areas to illuminate the ribbon and growth mark, you will feel that the brightness is slightly insufficient."
However, Ling Yue shook his head immediately after hearing this: "Although this problem exists, there is no way to improve it. If you choose to add the light source intensity of the bright bottom, although the quality of the bright field lighting will be improved, it will also damage the dark field lighting. You cannot have both fish and bear's paws. These two cannot be satisfied at the same time."
Song Tao smiled confidently: "If you use a double-bottom light source to completely separate the light source of bright and dark light sources, the problem will be solved."
Ling Yue asked with a confused look on his face: "Separation? How to separate the bottom light source?"
Song Tao took out a piece of white paper and quickly drew his thoughts on the white paper and handed them to her.
Ling Yue took it with skepticism. When she saw the structural diagram that Song Tao drew on it, she couldn't help but feel shocked, staring at the concept diagram and fell into deep thought.
The picture abandons the arc-bottom light source reflection mechanism of the traditional jewelry microscope and changes it to a low cylindrical structure. The light at the bottom of the cylinder is used when lighting in the bright field, and a circle of light at the cylinder wall is used when lighting in the dark field.
Ling Yue looked at the drawings and began to pace in the laboratory in a small range.
Song Tao's design is not profound and complex, but it is extremely ingenious and is actually completely feasible. The most important thing is that this design directly breaks the bottom light source structure of traditional jewelry microscopes, and not everyone has this courage.
Could it be that the intern in front of him not only understands identification, but also understands instrument design?
Just when Ling Yue was confused, her watch suddenly made a sound of time. She realized that it was six o'clock in the evening and it was time to get off work. Ling Yue signaled Song Tao to carry his schoolbag: "We must leave the laboratory, let's talk while walking."
While going downstairs, the two talked about some technical issues in lighting system improvement. Ling Yue didn't understand this very well, so Song Tao always introduced her to her unilaterally.
"...So as long as you remade a set of top light sources and bottom light sources, it will improve the imaging quality. The modification fee for each set may not exceed 500 yuan. I think Deputy Webmaster Li should have no reason to refuse this price."
After listening to Song Tao's introduction, Ling Yue looked at him with a little surprise: "I didn't expect you to know so much. If you didn't know, it would be hard to believe that you are just a senior."
Song Tao was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he heard Ling Yue's formal praise for others, and scratched his head embarrassedly.
In fact, the reason why he suddenly made this suggestion was not simply to help the microscope out of the predicament, but to have his own little girl.
His roommate Hou Yao's family runs an instrument manufacturing company. If the quality inspection station can agree to modify the microscope, he might be able to facilitate cooperation between the two parties. This would be a considerable order, and he, an intermediary, could also get a lot of benefits.
This was the idea that Song Tao had a sudden enlightenment before. It sounded very bold, but if he couldn't seize every opportunity, how could he get rich?
But this business needs to be done step by step, and it is not convenient for him to explain it clearly now.
After all, Ling Yue is a talented person with higher education. She quickly raised a question: "Your idea is very good, but having ideas and specific implementation are two different things. The first question is how to draw truly feasible drawings? After all, you are not studying instrument design."
Ling Yue's question was asked about the point, and this question had always troubled Song Tao. Although he had ideas, he didn't know how to draw professional design drawings.
However, now he has the Stone God System, and just asks the system to help him draw the drawings, so he said confidently to Ling Yue: "I can draw the drawings."
Ling Yue opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Really?"
A gemology student suddenly said that he could modify optical instruments and draw design drawings, which was incredible to anyone.
Song Tao said with confidence: "Of course, I have an XTL165 microscope at school, and I know a company that can modify the instruments. In a month, I can show you the effect after I modify my own one."
His internship is four months, and the remaining time should be enough to promote this business, but this matter needs to be discussed with Hou Yao to see if his company can be done.
Ling Yue nodded and agreed: "Yes, if the device has the effect ideal, I will find a way to make all the jewelry microscopes in the microscope process your current modification."
Although she was suspicious, the level of knowledge that Song Tao showed today was beyond her imagination. Besides, what Song Tao said just now was very clear, it would be better to be a living horse and let Song Tao do it without any trouble.
When the two walked to the door of the building, a person suddenly came up to him. Although it was getting late now, Song Tao still recognized who this person was. It was Dr. Shi Zhengping who failed to pass the exam at the conference in the morning.
Shi Zhengping wanted to say hello to Ling Yue, but when he saw another man following Ling Yue, he was stunned.
Ling Yue just obtained her doctorate degree last year. Because of her strong academic performance and comprehensive ability, she became the team leader at the age of 29. Coupled with her cold and charming appearance and capable personality, she has always been the object of older single men in the quality inspection station to talk about.
During this period, Shi Zhengping chased Ling Yue very closely. He quickly remembered that Ling Yue had no ambiguous partner now, so he did not care too much about Song Tao, just thinking that he was an assistant or someone on the way.
He walked forward with a smile on his face: "Xiao Ling, it's getting late, so why don't I drive you back."
However, Ling Yue waved his hand and rejected him in a voice without any emotion: "No need, I drove here by myself today, so I don't have to bother you."
Shi Zhengping was a little embarrassed by Ling Yue's unceremonious rejection, but he didn't want to say much, so he could only smile reluctantly: "Okay, then be careful on the way."
Ling Yue thanked him politely and prepared to go to the parking lot of the quality inspection station to drive home alone. However, before leaving, she suddenly turned around and told Song Tao: "If possible, be sure to finish and show me as soon as possible."
After hearing Ling Yue say something strange to the man behind her, Shi Zhengping really noticed him. After Ling Yue left, Shi Zhengping straightened his eyes and looked carefully, and recognized Song Tao.
Shi Zhengping said in surprise: "Why are you?"
Song Tao had a deep impression on him in the morning. He and Director Wang of the Microscopy Department failed to stump the intern. After he returned, he was criticized by Director Wang for messing up the education session of the New Year Conference.
What made him even more strange was that in just half a day, why did this intern get together with Ling Yue?
It is logical that it would be nice to have an ordinary appraiser to tutor the intern just here. How could he chat and laugh with a team leader like Ling Yue, who is known for his coldness?
Seeing Shi Zhengping's confused look, Song Tao was not going to explain to him, but just held back his smile and said goodbye to him: "Team Leader Shi, then I'll leave first."
