Connected microscopy. Accelerate decisionmaking.

Dr. Robert Zarnetta: the basic requirements of our customers are image, analyze and connect – in other words acquiring, and analyzing images and then consolidating and using the results. The biggest areas of application for the technology are failure analysis, optical inspection and metrology, but there are also other important areas such as technical cleanliness and metallography as well as the characterization of roughness and topography of surfaces. 

Dr. Robert Zarnetta: our portfolio is unique in that it covers all microscope technologies. The range starts with light microscopy and includes stereo-microscopy, inverted light microscopy and confocal microscopy. It extends further to include electron microscopy for the nano-meter range. And we are the only company to additionally offer X-ray microscopes with ZEISS Xradia Versa. This enables our customers to inspect and analyze components with high resolution and non-destructively. Finally, our software platform ensures the future-proof connection of all microscope technologies.

Dr. Robert Zarnetta: to put it i n a nutshell, fast, reproducible and user-independent results. Thanks to our integrated hardware and software solutions our customers can plan their microscope tasks as workflows and al low them to operate automatically with motorized systems. This accelerates the quality process and increases productivity considerably. For standardized microscopy tasks such as technical cleanliness or detecting non-metallic inclusions we offer our customers standard-compliant workflows and equipment as a comprehensive solution.

Roger Landolt: In addition, the connectivity means that users can continue to work on any other computer after the image has been acquired without further strain on the microscope. This increases microscope availability and efficiency. It is possible to save individual workflows as „jobs“ and send them to other staff members even across different locations. This is how to establish a uniform global quality standard.

With ZEISS Visioner 1, ZEISS is launching an innovative digital microscope that for the first time enables all-in-one focus in real time thanks to its Micro-mirror Array Lens System (MALS™). With its extended depth of field, users i n their quality control and quality assurance applications in manufacturing can for the first ti me see the sample completely in focus without having to combine different focus planes from a series of i mages or post-process them. This not only simplifies the imaging and documentation process, but also allows for faster inspection and therefore higher throughput.
