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.
Proline 80 Series Gains CE Approval
We are pleased to announce that the Proline 80 series of LED Ring lights has been granted CE approval. CE = C onformité E uropéene. For those not familiar with CE Marking, it is the a manufacturer’s declaration that the product complies with the essential requirements of the relevant European health, safety and environmental protection legislation, in practice by many […]
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.
Filter out the unwanted
Optical filters are devices that selectively transmit light of different wavelengths.
Bending light – the art of refraction
Refraction is the change in the direction of a wave due to a change in its transmission medium. Said more simply its why the fork looks bent when it is put into a glass of water.
Borosilicate Fibers for Precision Lighting Systems
Basing your optical component selections on single properties like numerical aperture (N.A.) or fiber diameter can backfire on you. However, you can reduce the probability of potential problems by reviewing real-life data revealing the impact of varied fiber-optic formulations on the transmission of broad-spectrum light. After assessing this post on fiber properties and potential pitfalls […]
