What it is
The Nikon SMZ 100 is a microscope manufactured by Nikon.[1]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIllumination is typically provided by a coaxial or ring light source, and the microscope may include a focusing mechanism and a specimen stage. The optical design is optimized for high resolution and depth of field suitable for detailed inspection.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedUpstream processes include cleaning, deposition, etching, or assembly; downstream actions may include rework, documentation, or further analytical testing. The microscope serves as a non-destructive evaluation tool between critical process steps.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAdditional applications include biological dissection, forensics, material science sample examination, and educational laboratory work where a stereo, erect image is advantageous.
