Loaders handle ultra-thin wafers
Nikon NWL200 wafer loaders remove the need to place very thin wafers on the microscope by hand during the post process stage.
With a typical life of 2000 hours, the Intensilight can be used for approximately ten times longer than a conventional mercury illumination system before lamp replacement is needed.
Furthermore, its fibre connection means neither heat nor electrical noise generated by the lamp can be transferred to the body of the microscope.
Stable light intensity, which completely fills the back aperture, is obtained through the use of direct current instead of an alternating current power source.
Intensilight includes matched adapters for different families of Nikon microscopes.
A built in open-close shutter makes it easy to transfer the illumination source to multiple microscopes on the move or to shutter the illuminator's light to the specimen.
Two sizes of light guide fibres, 1500 and 3000mm, are available.
The Intensilight system includes two models: a manual version, with manual shutter and neutral density selector controls; and a motorised and PC controllable version that has an optional desk top control pad for standard use. Request a free brochure from Nikon UK ...
