Ergonomics and Efficiency

Frontal Centralized Operation

Frontal Operation

The controls of the MX51 are positioned at the front of the microscope, easy for the operator to access and manipulate. The built-in clutch of the 150mm stage enables quick stage positioning, reducing operator fatigue.

Motorized Revolving Nosepiece

Motorized Revolving Nosepiece

In addition to the wide range of standard manual nosepieces, the MX51 can be equipped with a range of motorized nosepieces. The motorized nosepiece provides faster exchange between objective lenses and remote control reducing potential contamination to the sample. The controller for the nosepiece can interface with the Olympus Stream Software which so objective magnifications can be automatically stored while capturing an image.

Excellent Image Clarity and Superb Resolution

Wide Choice for Superior Imaging Performance

The objective is the core part of the optical microscope, used for the illumination and observation of material science samples. Olympus has the widest choice of objectives, universal objectives suitable for all contrast methods, long and ultra long working distance objectives, near-infrared objectives, LCD inspection objectives and many more.

Accessories and Supporting Diverse Observation Methods

Near-infrared (IR) Optics and Imaging

The specially designed IR objective lenses and components are ideal for imaging features and defects beneath the surface of silicon and glass. The Semiconductor and Photovoltaic industries use IR imaging for alignment, identification of sub-surface contamination and critical dimension inspections. The 20x, 50x and 100x objectives are designed with a correction collar that corrects for the aberrations caused by the thickness of silicon and glass, improving overall contrast. Olympus supports several IR digital cameras for near infrared imaging and analysis.

Near-infrared Components

Near-infrared Observation

Fluorescence Observation

The MX51 can be equipped with fluorescence observation by adding a mirror cube and high intensity light source. Fluorescence observation is ideal for easy detection of resist residuals and organic particles.

Transmitted Light Module

Transmitted Light Module

Transmitted light can be added to the MX51 for photo-mask or flat panel display inspections. Two types are available, one with a universal condenser and a second type with a high numerical aperture. Both support simple polarized light.
