Laser Microscope with Smart Features

To provide the high levels of accuracy and precision required for sub-micron 3D observation and surface roughness measurement, the Olympus LEXT OLS5100 laser microscope offers enhanced accuracy and precision with smart features that make materials science experiment workflows faster and more efficient.

"Laser microscopes are essential equipment in manufacturing and quality assurance due to their powerful capabilities-submicron 3D measurements with no sample preparation, non-contact areal roughness analysis and speed," said a company spokesperson. "However, some tasks, such as creating and managing an experiment plan and choosing the right objective lens, are time consuming and sources of potential error. The OLS5100 microscope's smart features address these challenges."

The microscope's Smart Experiment Manager helps users manage the planning, acquisition and analysis phases of their experiments. The microscope scans samples according to a customized experiment plan generated by the software, helping to keep users from missing data or redoing work. During analysis, the software's trend visualization tools make it easier for users to spot problems.

The OLS5100 microscope's Smart Lens Advisor takes the guesswork out of selecting the right objective lens when measuring surface roughness. In three steps, the Advisor rates the objective lens based on the application, so users know they are using the right objective.

"Some laser microscopes are complicated, but the OLS5100 microscope is engineered to make data acquisition simple-just place a sample on the stage and press the start button," said the spokesperson. The microscope will make all necessary setting adjustments and acquire the data.
