Scope for custom inspection systems
A range of new microscope systems developed for materials and metallurgical studies has been introduced by Olympus.
Microscope views ESD-sensitive components
A special version of the new Olympus BX2M series of microscopes for materials microscopy has been introduced to allow the safe examination of ESD-sensitive components.
By going to the Olympus website viewers can experience the many unique features of the advanced new system which offers far higher resolution than conventional optical devices.
The web demonstration illustrates the real time 3D observation and acquisition of high precision measurements from samples placed directly onto the microscope stage with no prior preparation.
These advanced features are possible because the LEXT combines advanced colour and laser scanning confocal microscopy techniques.
The web special also enables the viewer to evaluate numerous application images in 2D and 3D, from metal corrosion on automotive parts to the measurement of the laser mark depth for bare wafer manufacture.
The LEXT can profile objects that are normally difficult to scan using conventional methods, such as those with differing surface properties or slanted regions.
The LEXT's image processing features are explored in detail, including noise filtering, curve and tilt compensation and edge contrast and enhancement.
In addition, its analytical capabilities are demonstrated, including particle analysis and 2D, depth, volume/surface area, line width and geometrical measurements.
The web special also provides an animated explanation of the LEXT's specially developed MEMS scanner which increases the speed and reproducibility of the scanning process compared with conventional technologies. Request free introductory details about products from Olympus Life Science Europa ...
