(MicroDynamics: Woodstock, GA) -- MicroDynamics announces the release of the new MD-MicroQC, a lightweight, durable surface inspection microscope. This advanced system design,  "provides for enhanced performance, reliable results and the versatility to adapt to different production environments," say John Bearden, MicroDynamics' president and designer. 

The computer controlled MicroQC is actually two highly sophisticated microscope system technologies in one. The instrument provides the user high-definition white-light imaging, or 3-D nanotopography interferometry imaging. The system provides low-resolution and high-resolution imaging in both modes by combining digital zoom with optional fixed magnifications of 5X, 10X, 20X and 40X, giving the user potential nanotopography imaging of up to 2,000X. These features provide users with enhanced quality control or research ability in multiple arenas, include detailing surface fluid volumes in cubic microns, noncontact RMS surface smoothness testing with 360 degree axis capability, 3-D microscopy dimensional evaluations of micro-machining applications, or in study fields where nanotopography evaluations are needed.
