(Leica Microsystems: Bannockburn, IL) -- When the demands of quality inspection reach the limits of optical microscopes, digital technology provides quality assurance (QA) professionals with the power to take visual analysis to the next level. Now Leica Microsystems offers an innovative series of digital microscopes that bring new levels of flexibility and precision to meet the needs of QA professionals inspecting microelectronics and medical devices.

“With the introduction of the Leica DVM5000, QA teams have access to measurement technology that can deliver complex 3-D models quickly for more accurate quality analysis and inspection,” says Halden Zimmermann, vice president of marketing of Leica North America. The DVM5000 features a 360° rotating head, flexible tilting stand, and a revolving x/y-stage that enable inspection from angles that would be impossible with optical equipment. Plus, the compact, all-in-one system design allows the microscope to be brought to the sample for nondestructive analysis anywhere it’s needed. This mobility also lends itself to new workflows that can increase product throughput.
