For material research purposes

introduce

The LSM 800 Laser Confocal Scanning Microscope (CLSM) is an instrument designed to assist you in material analysis. Characterize 3D surface morphology in your laboratory or multi-user device. LSM 800 is capable of accurate 3D imaging and analysis of nanomaterials, metals, polymers, and semiconductors. The fusion of Axio Imager. Z2m and confocal scanning components can expand the functionality of your upright light microscope. By combining various basic observation methods used for material research with high-precision surface morphology analysis, there is no need to adjust the microscope, saving time in instrument setup. The workflow guidance provided to you can make imaging easier. This is thanks to open software that allows users to conduct sample analysis with their own macro solutions.

characteristic

Excellent combination of optical microscopy imaging and confocal imaging

The high-end confocal platform LSM 800 is developed to meet the needs of 2D and 3D material applications. And a series of observation methods using an upright microscope were applied.

·Characterize 3D structures using fluorescence observation or confocal mode.

·Polarization observation of anisotropic materials.

·Identify the region of interest using circular differential interferometry (C-DIC) and conduct further terrain research in confocal mode.

Workflow guidance makes imaging simpler

No need to adjust the microscope, instrument setup time can be reduced and results can be quickly generated through analysis and imaging alone.

·Only define the 2D scanning area on the sample, and then capture the region of interest (ROI) image.

·It has great flexibility in terms of the size and orientation of the area of interest.

·There will be a simple user interface to guide your workflow.

Expand your imaging range

Confocal focus helps you expand your wide field of view analysis capabilities

·Upgrade your Axio Imager Z2m to LSM 800, and fully utilize its versatile hardware such as objectives, stages, and lighting.

·Define your application using Open Application Development (OAD). Exchange data through external programs such as MATLAB.

·Expand your confocal microscope capabilities with Shuttle&Find associated microscopes. From optical microscopes to electron microscopes, we provide you with a complete workflow - and vice versa. The effective combination of imaging and analysis methods fully restores all information in material analysis applications.

Confocal principle

Perform 3D imaging on the entire sample

The LSM800 laser confocal microscope captures the defined light sections in the sample using the laser in the confocal beam path and combines them in a three-dimensional image. Its aperture (usually referred to as a pinhole) is set in such a way that information outside the focal length is blocked, and only information within the focal length can be detected.

·Scan and generate images along the x and y axes. Information within the focal length is bright, while information outside the focal length is dark.

·Generate an image stack by changing the distance between the sample and the objective lens (the sample is an optically cut section).

·By analyzing the distribution intensity of individual pixels in the image stack, the corresponding height can be calculated. The height information in the entire field of view can be combined to form a height map.

Using C Epiplan-APOCHROMAT objective lens

Use Strehl ratio to evaluate the optical quality of the C Epiplan-APCHROMAT objective lens. This result reflects a more realistic system performance compared to a theoretically perfect system with a value of 1.

Using C Epiplan-APOCHROMAT objective lens

·Thanks to the enhanced imaging contrast and high-speed transmission imaging in the visible spectral range.

·In traditional wide field microscopy techniques, differential interference (DIC) and fluorescence are used to obtain better observation results.

·The C Epiplan-APOCHROMAT objective is specifically designed for confocal microscopy technology and can achieve an aberration of 405 nanometers across the entire field of view. This can reduce interference noise and generate accurate terrain data for workpieces, thereby displaying more surface details of the samples.

Open Application Development (OAD): Your ZEN Imaging Software Interface

The LSM 800 is equipped with a new version of ZEN imaging software, which includes an open application development (OAD) interface for data exchange.

·Customize and automate your workflow. When you need features other than basic ZEN software, you can exchange data with third-party analysis and research software such as MATLAB.

·Create your own macro solutions. Enjoy the ability to easily set up important ZEN features and access component libraries, such as network frameworks.

3D surface detection using ConfoMap

ConfoMap is an ideal choice for visualizing 3D surface morphology detection.

·Evaluate the quality and functionality of surface properties based on recent measurement standards, such as ISO25178.

·The confocal diagram includes comprehensive geometric, functional, and roughness studies - as well as creating detailed surface analysis reports.

·New optional modules have been added for advanced surface texture analysis, contour analysis, particle to particle analysis, 3D Fourier analysis, surface evolution analysis, and statistics.

The multifunctional Smartproof 5 fast rotating confocal microscope is an integrated system for surface analysis: fast, accurate, and reproducible. Can be used for various industrial applications, such as roughness analysis and terrain characterization, to solve problems in daily analysis for quality assurance and quality control departments, production departments, and R&D laboratories.
