The Pentax LEXT OLS5000 laser confocal microscope uses advanced optical systems, which can convert non-destructive observations into clear images and perform precise 3D measurements. It is relatively simple to prepare in advance for actual operation and does not require prior resolution of the sample version.

LEXT ® OLS5000 Laser Scanner Microscope: Basic Concepts

Equipped with

The LEXT OLS5000 3D measuring laser microscope is equipped with two optical systems (color imaging optical system and laser confocal optical system) that enable it to obtain color information, height information, and high pixel images. The application of color imaging optical system uses white light LED light source and CMOS camera to obtain color information. [Obtaining 3D height information and high pixel confocal images] The laser confocal optical system uses a 405 nanometer technology laser diode light source and a high-sensitivity optical multiplier

Obtain confocal images by adding tubes. Shallow focal depth allows it to be used to determine the surface curvature of the test sample. Laser confocal optical system
