The push for smaller, more complex device components has spiked the need for precise, non-damaging metrology, with 3D X-ray microscopy (XRM) leading the way. This technology offers high-resolution measurements critical for quality control in the electronics and manufacturing industries.
At some point in the creation of any product, whether it be plastic moldings, consumer electronics, or even welds on nuclear power plant steel, it undergoes magnified and optical visual inspection.
In manufacturing, microscopes and magnified viewing systems are crucial for inspecting products. Digital microscopes offer enhanced capabilities and AI-assisted inspections, revolutionizing the way manufacturers view and interact with macro and microscopic details.
Electronics manufacturing needs advanced metrology to create high-reliability components. Technology is advancing to combine metrology and microscopy for better defect identification.
Microscope objectives focus light and form images. There are two types: finite and infinite conjugate. Designers consider magnification, numerical aperture (NA), and cost. NA is important but not the only factor in performance.
Microscopy systems must ensure data integrity and process reliability to meet regulatory requirements with a software solution providing the respective functionalities such as Audit Trail, Electronic Signatures, and User Management.
Integration of the latest artificial intelligence (AI) technologies enable even deeper insights. Users achieve more reliable interpretation of complex information in less time while boosting productivity and reproducibility.
Digital Surf announced the release of the tenth major version of the company’s renowned Mountains® software analysis platform for surface metrology & microscopy.
Evident, a new wholly owned subsidiary of Olympus comprised of its former Life Science and Industrial divisions, released new objectives for OEM integrators and Olympus industrial microscopes that combine a high numerical aperture and long working distance, providing exceptional flexibility in various inspection applications.
Olympus’ high-quality optics help eliminate many outliers before they occur. The quality of the resulting measurement is evident in multiscale analysis down to the finest scales.
