The need to measure things inspired some of the earliest tools invented by man. Basic measurements were needed for constructing dwellings of an appropriate size and shape, fashioning clothing, or bartering food or raw materials. Understandably, early man turned first to parts of his body and natural surroundings for measuring instruments. For example, early historical records indicate that length was first measured with the forearm, hand or finger. Revealing the invisible
Considering the relentless drive to make ever-smaller electronic devices, it’s no wonder that printed circuit design would eventually stymie even the most powerful optical inspection systems. Today’s printed circuits conceal interconnections that must be inspected and measured, but how is this done when they would seem to be invisible?

The solution is provided by high-resolution inspection systems capable of penetrating materials to expose hidden connections in even the smallest devices.
