fast Consumer Device Display Inspection – Down to the Micrometer

Educational, Multisensor / By

A consumer device display screen is the sole interface between the user and the device, meaning the out-of-the-box customer experience relies entirely on absolute optical and tactile perfection. Even minor surface imperfections like microscopic scratches, pits, or dents can refract light, disrupt touch sensitivity. Because modern cover glass is incredibly hard but inherently brittle, a …

Well Plate Measurement Using Height Data

Educational, Multisensor / By

Using precision height sensors is a more accurate way to measure well plate fill level than many of the commercially available options. Specifically, using a high accuracy chromatic confocal sensor provides a non-contact method for well plate measurement to the microliter. Various sensor options are available to provide a wide range of measurement volumes and …

5-Axis Rotary Stages for Microscopy

Educational, VHX Integration, VK Integration, VR Integration / By

Part orientation and alignment are critical to automated microscopy applications. Whether you are trying to teach rotary stage positions for repetitive imaging, or if you need to clock parts for initial alignment, motorized rotary stages will help. Motorized rotary stages enable easier part alignment, more reproducible measurements, and less operator interaction. Showing a laser cut …

How to Measure Laser Cut Hypotubes with High resolution

Educational, VHX Integration, VK Integration, VR Integration / By

Laser Cut Hypotubes (LCHT) are used for many different medical procedures. Most LCHT features consist of small cut or drilled features that allow them to bend and navigate the human body. The inspection for the verification and validation of these small features is an important step in the LCHT’s manufacturing process. As the features shrink …

How to Measure Large Displays With Microscopes

Educational, VHX Integration, VK Integration, VR Integration / By

Displays are constantly being developed with higher resolutions and larger screen sizes. The complexity of modern displays makes measuring the components a challenge. Intricate features of a display can be measured using microscopy, however microscopy techniques are often limited to smaller sample sizes. Peak Metrology offers larger positioning tables and stages to support large area microscopy which …

Height Sensors Resolve Microscope Focus Challenges

Educational, VHX Integration, VK Integration / By

Covering Keyence VK-X series scanning microscopes. Scanning microscopes can be difficult to optimize over large surface areas since their measurement depth of field is so small. If the surface you are trying to measure has a slight tilt to it, or if there are localized height differences across it, it will be hard to find …
