Digital Holographic Microscopes

Lyncée tec, Lausanne, Switzerland For Life Science and Material Science applications This instrument is unique in that it captures 3-D optical images in real time at up to 50,000 fps. This quick capture eliminates the need for expensive and bulky isolation equipment and allows the instrument to work on a noisy manufacturing floor without concern for vibration as well as a quiet research laboratory. Two major advantages over interferometric instruments are the real time data capture (including such as movies of MEMS movement and biological materials), and the vertical range. Resolution is 300 nm lateral and 0.2 nm vertical. There are two models, one for reflective mode (DHM R1000) and one for transmission mode (DHM T1000) with lateral resolution down to 300 nm and vertical temporal resolution of 0.2 nm in air. The field of view is objective limited with a maximum of 4.40 mm on a sample size up to 200 mm x 123 mm. Both models come with Koala software that includes extensive 2-D and 3-D analysis of the captured images. The flexibility of this approach and simplicity of operation allows the instruments to work as well for life science as they do for materials science. Applications: |
