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 …
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 …

Digital microscopes typically take and record images using JPEG or TIFF file formats. If desired, image compression algorithms are then applied. Here are the main benefits. Image your whole surface while maintaining your resolution Using smart image compression techniques will allow you to zoom in on a large surface. The resolution will be maintained and …
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 …
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 …

Small influences make a big impact on precision measurement processes When working with sub-micron and nanometer-sized features any external vibration influence on the equipment will negatively impact resultant measurement data. External vibrations such as nearby machinery, people’s foot traffic, steady-state floor vibration, and other sources have a large impact on how clean the measurement data …
The Field of View Problem Microscopes are ideal for taking measurements at high magnification. They make measuring micro and nanoscale features simple. Specifically, measuring features within a microscope’s field of view is easy with off-the-shelf tools. However, when the features on the part being measured are not located within the microscope’s field of view it …
