See the Invisible: Darkfield Scatter Inspection in Semiconductor Manufacturing
In semiconductor manufacturing, many of the most yield‑limiting defects are not obvious pattern failures. They are subtle surface anomalies, hidden in plain sight. Darkfield scatter inspection is designed to expose these issues by making the invisible visible. By suppressing reflected light and collecting only scattered light, it delivers high-contrast imaging of particles, micro‑scratches, contamination, and […]
Dual-Port Illumination for Comparison Microscope
TechniQuip worked with long-time system integration partners Accu-Scope and Unitron to develop a solution that meets the exacting requirements of law enforcement.
Don’t Be Casual when Selecting Borosilicate Fibers for Precision Lighting Systems
When designing precision lighting systems, basing your optical component selections on single properties like numerical aperture (N.A.) or fiber diameter can backfire on you. To reduce the probability of potential problems, real-world testing and data reveal that relying on them in isolation may undermine system efficiency, beam control, and spectral performance. This article summarizes a […]

TruFlux from a customer’s point of view
Our thanks go to Gregg Kleinberg, VP NBD – MIS, Inc. who provided this report on the TruFlux Near-Vertical Illuminator Test Set-Up Equipment used:
Big Bulb Theory
Luminous flux is the measure of the perceived power of light. The scale takes into account the sensitivity of the human eye and, as such, differs from radiant flux.
