Zeiss
UEM
The Zeiss UEM is a brightfield microscope. The Zeiss UEM uses reflected-light illumination. The Zeiss UEM has binocular viewing at 45°.[1][2][3]
What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA microscope of this class forms an enlarged optical view of a specimen so an operator can inspect surface features and measure visible structures.
A reflected-light brightfield microscope directs illumination onto the specimen from above and collects the returned light through the imaging optics.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA metrology and inspection microscope sits in the measurement and review part of a fabrication or laboratory workflow.
The Zeiss UEM is used after process steps that leave visible surface or structural features that an operator needs to examine before release or further work.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA microscope of this class is used for surface inspection, feature review, and general optical examination of prepared samples.
