‘Microscopes’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Digital Surf updates Mountains software from
Digital Surf, which we summarised at the time by saying "Digital Surf, the surface metrology solutions provider, has introduced Mountains 5.1, the latest version of its Mountains surface imaging and analysis software.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Positioning stages with sub-nanometre resolution from
PI (Physik Instrumente): "Physik Instrumente has extended its line of piezo stages for super-resolution microscopy with the PI Nano series nanopositioning stages. ".
In June 2009, we covered the news from Keyence (UK)
- take a look at Keyence offers enhanced VHX-600 digital microscope
which says: "Keyence has made a number of enhancements to the VHX-600 digital microscope, which offers a large depth of field that is at least 20 times greater than conventional microscopes.".
Take a look also at the news release from PI (Physik Instrumente), PI nanopositioning stages deliver accurate motion,
as well as Granitek develops precision granite castings from Granitek,
and Displacement sensors offer nanometre resolution from Micro-Epsilon UK.
