Measuring Microscope Features

MM-400/800 Series

300mm x 200mm Stage

Added body strength enables the use of larger stages, such as the PS12x8C stage, allowing for larger workpieces.

MM Controller Backpack Interface

Illumination, X/Y stage, and Z data can be connected to the MM Controller as an interface to an external computer running E-Max software for data processing and system control.

All White LED Illuminators

[fig.] — High-intensity white LED illuminator is provided as standard for brightfield use. This illuminator features no bulb replacement and constant color temperature, enabling measurement with high-precision and efficiency.

Non-Contact Height Measurement Technology FA Head TTL Laser AF for Universal Epi-Illuminator

TTL Laser AF (Universal Type)
This Laser AF system features a 0.5 second focusing speed with a repeatability as high as 0.5μm.

Focusing Aid (FA)
The newly developed split-prism Focusing Aid (FA) delivers sharp patterns to allow accurate focusing during Z-axis measurements.
Measurement errors due to differences in the depth of focus of different objectives are minimized.

Motorized Z-axis and Microscopic Observation Mode Switchover

High Power Microscopic Model with Universal Epi-Illuminator

These "Universal" models combine a measuring stand with the best of Nikon's metallurgicalmicroscope components for high resolution imaging and critical measurements. Featuring the full range of Nikon advanced LU objectives and microscopy techniques including: brightfield, darkfield, DIC contrast, polarizing, and epi-fluorescence. Up to five objectives may be mounted on the nosepiece. Moreover, important controls in the microscope-e.g. Z-axismovement, focusing and illumination switchover-have been automated or motorized to streamline imaging operations such as digital image capture, digital field-of-view measurement and data storage.
