What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA microscope forms a magnified view of a target surface so an operator can inspect fine features and defects.
A metrology instrument supports dimensional review, surface examination, and process verification by converting small physical details into observable image information.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA metrology and inspection microscope is typically used after fabrication steps that create patterned or finished surfaces and before final disposition, rework, or further analysis.
A metrology and inspection microscope sits in the quality-control flow where operators review process results, surface condition, and defect morphology.
Applications
The Olympus OLS 3000 is used as a microscope for examining small-scale surface detail.[1]
