Description

Suss MicroTec model MA6 Mask Aligner (model MA6/BA6 is shown at the top of the infobox)

The Keyence VHX Series 4K Digital Microscope uses high-resolution 4K imaging and advanced analysis software for high-magnification imaging, 2D/3D measurements, and more. The VHX Series has a depth of field that is 20 times greater than conventional optical microscopes. 2D and 3D measurements for roughness, contamination, grain size, and other measurements can be performed. The digital images can be saved in their original form or with measurements applied.

Objectives Available

  • Low Magnification Lens = 20-100x
  • Medium Magnification Lens = 100-500x
  • High Magnification Lens = 500-2500x
  • Highest Magnification Lens = 2500-6000x
