MicroPointâ Lasers & Microscopes for Industrial Uses

Which would you like to see? Manual System or Galvanometer System

MANUAL SYSTEM - TOP

Features

  • Unimpaired use of most research microscopes
    - 57KB
  • Simultaneous laser / microscope illumination
  • Fiber optic delivery system provides consistent safety, performance and alignment even if components are moved

MicroPoint Laser with Galvanometer System for Defect Classification, Deprocessing and Navigation in IC's, LCD's, OLED's, Hard Disk and Disk Media

The MicroPoint Laser Galvanometer System allows a near diffraction limited laser spot to be manually or automatically positioned within the field of view.

.
.

Controls are provided for selecting one of four patterns - circles, square, triangle, crossline - or a single dot. Each pattern can be varied from a single point to about 70% of the field of view.

The above images show examples of the pattern generation capabilities. On the left are examples of each of the four available preprogrammed patterns at a uniform size, on a lubricated disk media surface. Note how the metal media is actually not affected and only the lubrication layer has been marked by the laser. To the right is a raw silicon wafer surface, marked with a variety of patterns at different sizes.

The size range for any given pattern on a standard microscope varies from several microns to 5 millimeters.

A single point, or a series of points, may be fired at a set frequency and can be interactively steered to make fine cuts without the need for expensive motorized microscope stages.

Laser power can be adjusted in fine increments from the control panel allowing precise and reproducible tuning of laser output to the sample.

Features

  • Unimpaired use with most microscopes - - 57KB
  • Real time laser / eyepiece observation
  • Interlocked installation meets applicable safety specifications
  • Fiber optic delivery system provides flexible system footprint and ensures safe operation
  • Galvanometer steering system provides fast and easy manual beam positioning or automatic pattern generation for defect classification and navigation
  • Stepper motor controlled attenuator provides reproducible fine incremental control of power. This allows the user to match laser output to the sample and task at hand.
