AXIO CSM 700 FROM CARL ZEISS ENHANCED WITH NEW FUNCTIONS.Carl Zeiss
Carl Zeiss (September 11, 1816 – December 3, 1888) was an optician commonly known for the company he founded, Zeiss. , Inc., Thornwood, N.Y,,a leading provider of microscopy solutions for a variety of research, clinical and industrial applications, has introduced new functions for the Axio CSM CSM - ["CSM - A Distributed Programming Language", S. Zhongxiu et al, IEEE Trans Soft Eng SE-13(4):497-500 (Apr 1987)]. 700 microscope. The new functions of the Axio CSM 700 confocal confocal see confocal microscopy. light microscope Noun 1. light microscope - microscope consisting of an optical instrument that magnifies the image of an object binocular microscope - a light microscope adapted to the use of both eyes enable materials scientists to measure the 3D topography over large sample areas with more convenience and flexibility. For this microscope, Carl Zeiss offers a motorized mo·tor·ize tr.v. mo·tor·ized, mo·tor·iz·ing, mo·tor·iz·es 1. To equip with a motor. 2. To supply with motor-driven vehicles. 3. To provide with automobiles. scanning stage with a 150 x 150 mm travel range that is suitable for materials research, quality inspection and routine applications. Scanning stage control is integrated into the Axio CSM 700 software and allows large sample areas to be captured in a mosaic fashion with high resolution. This function has been further optimized with a stitching algorithm so that no transitions are perceived between the single images in the final mosaic image. Therefore, roughness measurement can be determined with a higher statistical reliability even with large sample areas. It is also now much easier to operate the Axio CSM 700 thanks to the new, encoded and motorized objective nosepiece nosepiece /nose·piece/ (noz´pes?) the portion of a microscope nearest to the stage, which bears the objective or objectives. nose·piece n. which now comes standard. The Axio CSM 700 accurately measures even low roughness on relatively ?soft? surfaces without contact. The microscope visualizes surfaces three-dimensionally, with high resolution and in true color (1) Specifically, refers to 16,777,216 colors (24-bit color). See high color. (2) Generically, refers to photo-realistic color (typically requires 24-bit color as a minimum). , and also allows precise measurement of 3D microstructures as well as roughness determination with high quality. Topographical measurements can be performed at more than 100 image frames per second. Additional benefits include the reliable detection of height information with step heights from 20 nm up to the millimeter range, as well as images with a depth of focus otherwise only possible with scanning electron microscopes scan·ning electron microscope n. Abbr. SEM An electron microscope that forms a three-dimensional image on a cathode-ray tube by moving a beam of focused electrons across an object and reading both the electrons scattered by the object and . The easy-to-use software provides numerous analysis options, including the measurement of roughness, evaluation of layer thickness and particle analysis. Additional functions such as a newly programmed filter facilitate and improve the image processing image processing Set of computational techniques for analyzing, enhancing, compressing, and reconstructing images. Its main components are importing, in which an image is captured through scanning or digital photography; analysis and manipulation of the image, accomplished capabilities. Furthermore, English units like inches and microinches have been integrated into the Axio CSM 700 software. Therefore, material microscopy standards valid in parts of North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. , in particular, can be better complied with. The new functions of the Axio CSM 700 from Carl Zeiss enable materials scientists to measure large sample areas more conveniently and use the system more flexibly. About Carl Zeiss MicroImaging, Inc.
