Clean Room Reflected Light Microscope

AxioScope A1

The Zeiss AxioScope A1 is configured to perform reflected light microscopy as well as reflected light differential-interference contrast (DIC) and reflected light dark field microscopy. Images may be acquired using a Zeiss AxioCam ICc3 color CCD camera. The microscope is used for individual process step inspection of MEMs devices such as microstamps or microfluidic devices, alignment of either multi layer photoresist or multiple polymer layer bonding, also final inspection and evaluation of devices.

Tables for the Zeiss Objectives can be found here.

A chart for immersion oil types can be found here.

ITG users may reserve time on the LM using the Clean Room Scope Calendar.
