Analysis of Fractured Metal Surfaces
When observing each of the features of a three-dimensional object, such as fracture surfaces, analysis can take a long time due to the need to adjust the focus many times.
The KEYENCE 3D Digital Microscope’s real-time depth composition function allows you to focus across an entire fractured metal surface. This allows for observation and assessment of the many composite features that are present in fractured surfaces, in addition to reducing the time spent adjusting the focus.

Observation, Measurement, and Evaluation of Skin and Hair
When evaluating the depth and fineness of surface features, the smaller the height differences in the features, the lower the contrast becomes, which makes observation and assessment difficult. Conventional microscopes show images differently depending on lighting and angle, and are prone to having glare from reflections and lower contrast. This makes shallow grooves difficult to observe, and they can escape detection.
The VHX Series 4K Digital Microscope’s multi-lighting function can automatically capture omnidirectional lighting data. By selecting the image most suitable for observation from this data, you can significantly shorten the time needed to set up the lighting.

Observation of Metal Structures
Observation of metal structures takes time because only a part of the field of view is in focus. Observation and analysis of objects such as this also has a learning curve, which is an obstacle to achieving precise results.
The VHX Series 4K Digital Microscope’s real-time composition interface provides depth composition that allows for quick and easy observation of fully focused images. Additionally, automatic grain size analysis can be performed, eliminating user subjectivity.

Observation and Analysis of Microorganisms
Many microorganisms are highly transparent, which makes it hard to obtain contrast in the observation image. As such, high-magnification observation and quantitative analysis are very difficult for filamentous fungi, which grow in three dimensions, and small bacteria. VHX Digital Microscopes are equipped with multiple different lighting and imaging functions, such as transmitted polarised illumination and HDR, that make it possible to obtain images with high colour gradation. Furthermore, the VHX Series is capable of automatically counting the number of colonies, and providing statistics about each individual colony's size.

Polarised Light Observation for High-Resolution Imaging of Minerals
In polarised light observation of minerals, it is necessary to accurately perceive changes due to the observation method and angle. However, evaluations can differ from one individual to another because it is very difficult to properly set the lighting conditions. The VHX Series supports polarised light observation with parallel or crossed Nicol prisms, and can also perform transmitted polarised illumination. Furthermore, the VHX Series has the ability to recall lighting conditions from previous images, ensuring consistent results.

Observation and Measurement of Semiconductor Wafers and IC Designs
VHX Series Digital Microscopes use Optical Shadow Effect Mode, a whole new method of microscopy, to perform high-magnification observation with image clarity that rivals that of an SEM. Optical Shadow Effect Mode enables observation of wafer surface conditions, defective films, and foreign particles. Automatic measurement of photomasking areas and 3D shapes can also be performed. The advanced capabilities of the VHX Series greatly improves inspection and analysis capabilities for wafers and integrated circuits.
