Accurate Measurements Refined Optical Performance The STM7 series uses the same UIS2 infinity-corrected optical system used in state-of-the-art optical microscopes. As a result, observed images have high resolution and high contrast, with aberration thoroughly eliminated to help ensure highly accurate measurement in minute detail. Brightfield image Reliable Measurements with a Stone StageMounting Plate To provide further assurance of measurement accuracy, the STM7 series uses a highly durable, vibration-resistant frame with a granite surface plate. As a result of this stability, measurements...

Wide Coverage: Stage Stages that Fit Your Samples Common Problems Short measurement stroke precludes the measurement of larger samples. The STM7 features a 300 mm x 300 mm stage capable of measuring large samples, including 300 mm wafers and printed circuit boards. Sample rotation required to compensate for shorter Y than X-axis coverage during measurement is time inefficient. Until now, large stages have offered a sufficient measurement coverage on the X-axis, but only less coverage on the Y-axis. X and Y-axis measurement areas are long and of equal length, eliminating the need to rotate samples....

Wide Coverage: Optics Broad Range of Magnifications and Working Distances Common Problems Most conventional measuring microscopes only accept a measuring objective or metallurgical objective, and so are unable to meet the requirements for a wide variety of observations. The STM7 meets the requirements of a wide variety of observations. It responds to your needs at both low and high magnifications, enables the measurement of uneven samples requiring ultra-long working distance objectives, and even offers a variety of observation methods. Low- and High-Magnification Observations The STM7 accepts...

Operability: Measuring Microscope Operation A Revolutionary Control Unit Refines Usability Common Problems Additional functions require additional operational units. Operators can’t always locate the corresponding unit quickly, which significantly reduces measurement efficiency. Almost all measuring microscope operations can be efficiently completed on the nearest operational unit. Numerous operational units and their power supplies around the main unit occupy valuable working space. The system requires only a single operational unit and power supply, regardless of how many functions are added,...

Solutions Analog volume adjustment used by conventional measuring microscopes does not enable the quantitative assessment of light intensity, which can lead to variability in measured values as light intensity changes. V_J r \ With conventional measuring microscopes, light intensity may need to be adjusted every time the objective is switched— ^ making for an inefficient workflow. Observations and measurements can always be performed under the same conditions thanks to the STM7's quantitative display of light intensity value. V) ( ' ' ^ Illumination method and light intensity are automatically...

Operability: Digital Read Out Check Measurement Results and Equipment Status Fast with a Detachable Digital Readout Common Problems The need to check the operation status of equipment, such as illumination, or measured values on individual units makes overall operation cumbersome. The STM7 series displays microscope status, such as illumination, together with measured values on an indicator display area, for easy checking at a glance. Fast, Visual Status Check The indicator displays the device status and settings. The minimum X, Y, and Z-axis values can be switched between 0.1 µm and 1 µm, and...

Height Measurement: Focus Navigation System Faster, Simpler, More Accurate Height Measurement Common Problems When doing visual measurement, variations can arise in the height measurements between different operators. Furthermore, this measurement method is time-consuming and inefficient. The STM7 focus navigation system reduces the operator subjectivity in height measurements. It also shortens the time required to perform height measurement to achieve greater efficiency. Simple, Precise Focusing System with Superior Repeatability Olympus’ focus navigator delivers highly reproducible height measurement...

Height measurement: Autofocus Unit Common Problems Solutions During visual measurement, the results of height measurement can vary between different operators. With use of the autofocus unit, the measured value remains highly accurate regardless of the operator. Manual height measurement requires the operator to repeatedly move the stage and adjust the focus with the ^ handle, making measurement time-consuming and inefficient. Focusing on minute objects, such as bonding wires, is difficult. ^ In TRACK mode, the image is automatically and continually kept in focus, enabling efficient height measurement...
