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.

Vision Engineering announces the launch of Mantis 3rd Gen of its best-selling and award-winning Mantis range of ergonomic optical stereo microscopes.

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.

Vision Engineering Inc., manufacturers of optical and digital inspection and non-contact measurement systems, launches a microscope trade-in program for North America aimed at all microscope users. 

With the help of microscopy and imaging technologies, as well as automation, manufacturing is making great strides toward more advanced and efficient processes for building bigger and better things.
