Capabilities beyond conventional microscopes The VK-8550 converts an observed shape into a measurement "I wish I could see the world at the nm level in the same way that I look into my optical microscope." Such a wish can now be realized with Keyence's color laser microscope. Innovative new technology provides infinite depth of field ideal for both magnified observation and profile measurement. You can easily see the structure in the nm level which was impossible with conventional microscopes. "Ultra-deep" color image magnified up to 16,000x Observation is available at magnifications from 50x to 16,000x. Our original "ultra-deep" color images allow you to quickly check for corrosion of metal or a defective LCD, which could not be recognized with monochrome pictures. Images with overall focus enable previously impossible evaluation as well as easy estimation, ensuring more efficient analysis work. True-to-life color images reduce eye strain caused by numerous observation/measurement tasks.

Measurement Principles An Ultra-deep image with overall focus is achieved by using an ultra-small pin hole and precise linear scale. The ultra-small pin hole mechanism ensures accurate detection of the focal position. The precise linear scale built into the lens moving mechanism achieves a traceability of 0.01 µm by reliably moving the lens in the Z-axis direction. The combination of these two sophisticated engineering designs provides the z-axis (height measurement) data. The data is then overlaid with a realistic color image taken with the color CCD camera at each focal position. Thus an ultra-deep image is created. Keyence s innovative technology successfully joins the image consisting of the light intensity of the reflected laser beam with the color data obtained at each focal position.

Compared with conventional methods which use a CCD pixel as the detector, the VK pin hole method can eliminate noise such as outof-focus surfaces or light leakage. You can achieve the proper focus position and easily measure targets, such as film thickness and transparent targets, which were difficult with conventional methods. Ultra-deep color image of Solder Bump (2000x) The original optical technology using the confocal principle ensures an image with overall focus.
Option Color Laser 3D Profile Microscope VK -8550 User-friendly compact design and simple operation Large LCD/PDP panels can also be measured Various functions are packed in a compact body. The unit requires only a small area on a desktop, so that it can be installed in a laboratory crowded with many pieces of equipment. The removable measuring head enables more flexible observation and measurement. Special stage for large samples Integrating the measuring head into a special system enables non-destructive observation/ measurement of any part of a larger target such as a large LCD glass panel. On-line operation is also available by using command communication with the special DLL. Removable measuring head for various targets The stage accommodating large samples enables overall observation of even a 12-inch (300-mm) wafer. When the optional spacer is used When the optional spacer is not used If a target cannot be placed on a normal stand, it can easily be positioned by using the removable measuring head and the spacer or other aid. Even a photocopier drum or a roller can be observed nondestructively.
