Carl Zeiss has introduced the LSM 700 MAT laser scanning microscope for materials research to allow precise 3D imaging of surfaces.
The combination of fluorescence and reflection techniques enables high-precision examination of semiconductors, metal, glass and polymers with high information content.
The integrated detection of fluorescence signals on and in the materials provides additional information.
The system permits precise capture of 3D topography or the determination of finest roughness, for example, without damaging the surface.
The high reproducibility of the measured values, even of relatively soft surfaces such as polymers, is another feature of this microscope system.
The LSM 700 is compatible with the Axio Scope, Axio Imager and Axio Observer microscopes from Carl Zeiss.
Combining this system with the Axio Imager and Axio Observer in particular enables a variety of configurations.
