Olympus announced today its LEXT® OLS5000 3D laser confocal scanning microscope was recognized by the judges of the annual Laser Focus World Innovators Awards program. The judging panel consisted of senior industry experts who honored the microscope with a Silver award.
The OLS5000 microscope was designed with new features and updated technology to enhance its performance and advance measurement outputs:
- 4K scanning technology and optics designed for the OLS5000 microscope provide improved measurement performance and reliability*. This combination of technology and optics enable the detection of near-perpendicular features and small steps at close to nano-scale.
- Acquires data 4X faster* and improves the user experience with intuitive software designed to automate many common settings.
- An expansion frame and a dedicated, long working distance (LWD)** lens perform precise measurements on samples up to 210 mm in height and concavities up to 25 mm deep—even those with uneven surface cracks.
Alan Bergstein, publisher of Laser Focus World (www.laserfocusworld.com), said "This prestigious program allows Laser Focus World to celebrate and recognize the most innovative products and services in the photonics and optoelectronics industry. Our 2018 Honorees are an outstanding example of companies who are making an impact."
The Innovators Awards are judged based on the following criteria:
- Innovation
