Optical Microscope (OPT-MIC)

The optical microscope offers very high-quality imaging with the following specs:

• • Field of view: 0.8 x 0.6 mm
  • Working distance: 28 mm
  • Coaxial adjustable illumination
  • USB3 camera 1/3”
  • Manual focus over +/- 12.5 mm
  • Cables and power supply
  • Mount compatible with ASA frame
  • Upgraded AMICS software functionalities to ease tip to sample alignment process;
  • Image grabbing software included

OPT-MIC is not vacuum compatible so can only be used for ex-situ applications (e.g., Bio-indenter)

The Integrated Microscope is attached to the indentation head and allows easy tip to sample alignment when the system is not operating in a SEM:

• • Field of view: 1.6 x 1.2 mm
  • Working distance: 17 mm (motorized focusing)
  • Coaxial illumination
  • USB2 camera 1600×1200 pixels
  • Upgraded AMICS software functionalities to ease tip to sample alignment process;
  • Image grabbing software included
  • Tip-sample repositioning typically < 5 µm

IMI is not vacuum compatible so can only be used for ex-situ applications (e.g., Synchrotron Beamline, Bioindenter, Enclosure, etc)

NOTE: The IMI is a compact solution optimized for aiding tip-sample location. For high quality imaging, the OPT-MIC is recommended.
