Electronics parts, components and devices can be complex, requiring meticulous manufacturing processes to ensure the performance of the finished product.

Printed circuit boards (PCBs), printed circuit assemblies (PCAs) and batteries, in particular, need advanced metrology and inspection equipment to build high reliability components that are important for New Energy Vehicle (NEV), aerospace and spacecraft, and medical device creation. The growing demand for miniaturization and high-density interconnects make it increasingly difficult to identify defects, meaning a need for inspection systems that can do traditional metrology applications and optical inspection tasks in microscopy.
