Miroscope is a smart system replacing rotating lasers for leveling. This system have a special designed mirror assembly returning the viewed reference horizontally back to the worker. The mirror assembly is adjusted with high precision levels of 1 mm per 10 m in distance accuracy. The system have no batteries and is totally passive and very simple to operate. Performance is similar to lasers and price is very attractive.
Operator looking at the Miroscope at the far end of image. He have a scale with a papers as reference mark and align this with the mirrored image from the miroscope. This is very easy and exact and can be done by less experienced operators. There is no need for a detector or battery operation. This simple way to work gives over 30 meters radius . When the optional telescope is added we can get 100 meter in radius with less 1 cm in accuracy. |

| The miroscope is very rugged and designed to survive hard handling outdoor by less skilled operators. An advantage is that it needs no batteries and is totally passive. This reduce problems when working at remote located sites with low civilisation factor. This simple and straight on design gives many years of reliable operation and no need for maintenance. The miroscope is always used with a scale or stick where the level is viewed as a mirror image through the mirror assembly. The image is reflected back and the place where the horizon is easily viewed at the scale. The function is in some ways like a single axis corner cube used for EDM instruments . Range is typically 30 meter with bare eyes and over 100 mm with optional mini telescope mounted on the stick. There are no settings except a rough leveling with tree screws under the bottom plate. The instrument fits on standard tripods with the 5/8 UNC thread used on most theodelites world wide. A unique feature is that several workers can use the system at the same time without any expensive detector systems. One stick with a mark by a pencil or tape is enough at up to 30 m in radius from the instrument. This mark have been added to a shovel in some cases as worker anyway use the shovel all the time. There is no extra heavy, expensive , battery operated stuff needed to start to do the job. |

The small 2,8 X telescope mounted on the measuring scale / stick gives over 100 m in range. With illumination we can get far longer range than 100 m. Inclinations can be set by tilting the mirror cube to a desired angle which is optional. This makes it possible to use the miroscope for applications like pipe laying where it replace a pipe laying laser. At the same time it do the job of a rotating laser so the Miroscope have a double function for the user. Miroscope can be tilted vertically so the reference plane becomes vertical . This virtual plane can be used for aligning and digging along a line. Two Miroscopes operated at the same time and tilted 90 degree in between can give a reference line horizontally and vertically at the same time. |
