Industry examples

• Material Science / Metal Industry

  Fracture analysis of metal surface

  Optical Shadow Effect Mode captures multiple frames of an image in varying lighting angles. Surface details normally difficult to observe can be accurately recorded since the shadow differences are enhanced.

• Electronics / Semiconductors

  Coating inspection

  It has historically been difficult to eliminate reflections on the sample’s surface caused by the microscope ring light. With the VHX Series, these reflections can be removed at the push of a button.

• Biology / Zoology

  Image with depth composition

  Depth Composition allows to capture a fully focused image, even at high magnification and with the lens tilted. The VHX scans through the various focal points on a sample and then have them combined into a single image, greatly reducing analysis time.

• Grain size analysis
  

  Aluminium Surface, 2500× Magnification

  The measurement results can be easily saved as a picture or report. It is also possible to create measurement templates, which will not only save time, but also create reproducibility.

• Mechanical / Automotive
  

  Screw thread Inspection

  When observing highly reflective surfaces with conventional microscopes, the monodirectional light will create reflection which makes the inspection very difficult. In order to obtain clear images of such objects, KEYENCE provide diffuse lighting adapter. This will allow the object in question to be viewed from all directions under uniform reflections

• Food / Pharma / Cosmetic / Packaging

  Plastic packaging

  The HDR function can be combined with the depth composition function to obtain fully focused, highly magnified images. The system can then create a quick 3D display image of the sample. Afterwards, measurements can be performed directly on the display image.
