VISION 2026

It’s been a little over a week since VISION 2026 – and after three packed days in Stuttgart, it’s safe to say: there’s a lot to look back on. From exciting conversations and new connections to live demonstrations of our machine vision solutions, we had a fantastic time meeting so many people from across the […]
Built for today. Ready for tomorrow.

For a recent customer request, we developed a scalable concept for a high-precision line-scan inspection system – designed not only to meet today’s requirements, but to accommodate future upgrades as well. The initial setup combines our 1050 mm PS Line Light with additional reflection illumination to make specific product features even more visible. Three Basler […]
10 years of MSTVision

10 Years of MSTVision 🎉 This is where it all began. Ten years ago, MSTVision started in a small flat in Mainz-Hechtsheim. What began as a one-man company founded by Michael Stelzl has grown into a strong team of dedicated experts, united by a passion for machine vision and innovative solutions. From those first days […]
Flat Dome with PS Advanced

Expanding the possibilities of Photometric Stereo illumination 💡 PS Advanced is already well established with ring light configurations. However, when inspecting shiny or highly reflective surfaces, alternative illumination concepts can deliver even better results. In a recent customer feasibility study, we combined PS Advanced with the CCS LFXV Flat Dome Series, using a 100 × […]
PS Advanced Release

We’re excited to announce the public release of the MSTVision Framework 🚀 The MSTVision Framework is our software platform for building and operating high-performance Photometric Stereo applications with our PS Advanced. It provides a seamless workflow for camera configuration, image acquisition, and Photometric Stereo processing — helping customers integrate advanced surface inspection into industrial environments […]
MultiChannel Setup
What if your imaging setup could adapt precisely to your inspection requirements? Our MultiChannel setup is designed to provide maximum flexibility across all relevant imaging parameters — enabling tailored solutions for complex, high-speed inspection tasks. The setup supports multiple camera configurations and variable resolutions, allowing precise adaptation to field of view, depth of field, and […]
Size matters!

Sometimes size matters. But choosing the right inspection approach matters even more. For a recent feasibility study, the goal wasn’t just to test one solution—it was to systematically compare different imaging approaches on the samples. To make this possible, we built three high-end, complementary setups, each representing a different philosophy in machine vision. Having all […]
PS Advanced Lens Casting

Lens casting at MSTVision: Who will get the leading role for our PS Advanced? 🔬 Over the past weeks, we’ve been intensively testing a wide range of lenses to evaluate how they perform in combination with our PS Advanced. Our goal was simple: generate reliable data and real-world insights so we can recommend the optimal setups […]
92nd Heidelberg Image Processing Forum

Yesterday, the 92nd Heidelberg Image Processing Forum took place in Mainz, bringing together experts from industry and research to discuss the latest developments in optical components and lighting techniques. As a sponsor alongside Edmund Optics, we were proud to support the event and contribute to the exchange within the machine vision community. Events like the […]
PS Line Light × CIS

The PS Line Scan Solution combines the PS Line Light with either a classic line scan camera or — when installation space is limited — a Contact Image Sensor (CIS) as a compact alternative. The WHEC CIS, currently in our lab and shown in the images, fits seamlessly into the system and demonstrates how a […]
