User manual LEICA Z-SERIES BROCHURE

[. . . ] With compatible stands, illuminators, binocular tubes and video/phototubes, motorized focus, modern CCD cameras, and much more, the Leica Z line is suitable for measurement, documentation and analysis tasks in the QA lab, just as they are suited for biology, geology, histology and training. 2 Monitoring, documentation, education Zoom optical system extend human vision in situations where the naked eye is no longer sufficient. In the macro range, zoom systems allow for a quick inspection of complete objects ­ for example, electronic circuits, workpieces manufactured by a machine or biological specimens. The overview of a large section offers valuable context and relationship information. You can continuously increase the magnification of selected details for closer inspection. [. . . ] Instead, the new Leica Z6 APO A or Z16 APO A zoom systems are ideal for the inspection devices being used. In this case, the operator uses a high-precision XY drive to approach a random number of positions that are subsequently inspected for structural flaws using the high-performance optics of the Leica zoom system. Every position is automatically checked at two different magnifications that are preprogrammed and then automatically approached with the motorized zoom. This method can be applied with all inspection machines for microstructures, such as printed circuit boards. High performance ­ high safety With the Leica Z6 APO A and the Z16 APO A, you are using the only motorized, fully apochromatically corrected zoom systems on the market. LEDs that do not heat the specimen are used as illuminators. Transmitted-light solutions Leica's transmitted-light solutions range from simple detachable transmitted-light stages (optical fiber and LED) for our incidentlight bases, to bright- and dark-field transmitted-light bases, and high-performance transmitted-light bases for special contrast methods such as RottermannTM contrast. 9 Lochfrass im Detail 10 Results and analyses including time saved Economic solutions for macrodocumentation Complete documentation solutions are indispensable to more efficiency and higher throughput in laboratories. The Leica Z6 APO A and the Leica Z16 APO A provide powerful prerequisites for this purpose. These zoom systems first macroscopically document the object to be inspected. The resulting images are automatically entered in the image database ­ such as the Leica LAS. In the process, the motorized zoom automatically reports the magnification used to the software; hence, the scale is directly acquired and can be inserted in the image. This process can also be applied in forensics, pathology, and in industrial laboratories ­ upon request also with the foot switch so that the hands can be used freely. For the user in the lab and in research, this translates to significant time saved in processing as well as more precise data for analyses and documentation. Reliable test setups for high-tech developments No new high-tech developments without high-performance optics: Only through the observation of highly dynamic processes is it possible to gain precise analyses and information for possible improvements. For this purpose, the Leica zoom systems are combined with a high-speed camera and the test setup is illuminated by a strobe for the recording. Thanks to the motorization of the Leica Z6 APO A or Leica Z16 APO A, the test arrangement can easily be changed and different states can sequentially be recorded without any manual intervention. Even more convenience is provided by the serial interface of the zoom. It leads to the distribution box which allows for direct connection of the Leica SmartTouchTM, the foot switch and the PC. HL RC Durchlichtbasis TFT panel Wafer · Metal plate for universal assembly Wafer with incident illumination 11 From macro to micro In order to maintain 100% quality control, customers entrusted with industrial quality surveillance, as well as Original Equipment Manufacturers, mechanical engineers and automation technicians, expect top performance and flexible construction of the zoom systems they use. Standard interfaces must allow installation in measurement and testing systems, as well as constant monitoring with video systems and modern digital image processing methods. With the largest program of accessories for zoom systems, our customers are perfectly equipped for all present-day and future tasks. Leica Z6 APO A and Z16 APO A offer accessories and interfaces for problem-free installation in bonders and probers and, of course, for modern TV workstations, digital image grabbing and processing. For equipping inspection stations for classic materials and quality control and laboratory workstations in biology, medicine, geology, and forensics, a huge assortment of high-quality stands, illuminators and digital cameras is available for every purpose. Superlative performance The planapochromatic objectives of the Leica Z line reproduce flat objects such as thin sections, metal sections or wafers completely evenly, from the middle to the edge, with pin-sharp accuracy. [. . . ] Our strong focus on understanding scientific applications puts Leica Microsystems' customers at the leading edge of science. The statement by Ernst Leitz in 1907, "with the user, for the user, " describes the fruitful collaboration with end users and driving force of innovation at Leica Microsystems. We have developed five brand values to live up to this tradition: Pioneering, High-end Quality, Team Spirit, Dedication to Science, and Continuous Improvement. For us, living up to these values means: Living up to Life.
