Depth profiling using Raman microscopy - Confocal mode
The removal of light from outside the 'focal plane' coupled to an accurately controlled sample stage allows non-destructive depth profiling with a resolution of 2 µm using a x100 microscope objective
Robot tool positioning and alignment
One of the main applications of machine vision in industry is in the alignment and positioning of tools that are used in a large variety of tasks.
Optical imaging and analysis systems
The Eifeler Image Analysis Suite is a comprehensive imaging system consisting of an Olympus BX40 high magnification optical microscope linked via a CCD camera to a dedicated PC
Microscopy
In some instances, microscopy can give useful information regarding the extent or mode of corrosion degradation or failure
