Get the Full Picture for 3D Surface Metrology Highly accurate surface analysis is essential in industry and research to help ensure optimal performance of materials and components. But there are challenges: surfaces can be made up of intricate structures with highly sloping areas demanding lateral resolution of a few microns, or critical micro peaks and valleys requiring vertical analysis on the sub-nanometer scale. While confocal microscopy offers high lateral resolution, interferometry is required to reach sub-nanometer vertical resolution. This is why the Leica DCM8 unites both measurement...

FOUR LEDS FOR RGB HD iMAGiNG AND WiDER APPLiCATiON RANGE The Leica DCM8 includes four LEDs, blue (460 nm), green (530 nm), red (630 nm) and white (centered 550 nm). By increasing the number of colors and therefore wavelengths available, the application range is extended. For example, if you are working with semiconductor wafers and photoresist where the sample is sensitive to blue light, you can choose to use only red light for image capture. You'll have an ultra-sharp full color image at hand The RGB LEDs in combination with the HD CDD camera also enable the Leica DCM8 to produce an ultra-sharp...
