Microelectronics
Smaller, cheaper, faster – these are the ever-present concerns of microelectronic device manufacturers. In this industry, each new generation of products must outperform its predecessors while in smaller package sizes and without a significant increase in costs.
These manufacturing rules also affect each of the components involved in their fabrication including transistors, capacitors, inductors, resistors, diodes.
Manual examination
Small imperfections of medical devices and components can be traced using specialized microscopes. High-contrast digital imaging makes it easy to examine the surface of catheters and surgical blades prototypes. Also the performance of new injection moulding tools can be checked or lower volume quality control checks can be performed through microscopy.
