Overview
High-Quality Compact Microscope AssembliesThe BXC series offers high-quality microscope components that suppress variations and provide stable imaging quality. These compact microscope assemblies can be quickly and easily integrated into your system with a variety of options. Please download the information necessary for device integration from our BXC series resource center. |
High-Performance Objective Lenses
Improved image flatness The image flatness of the MPLFLN 2.5X, 5X, and 5X brightfield/ darkfield objectives has been improved, making it faster to obtain stitched images at low magnifications. For higher throughput in darkfield observation, we introduced a brightfield/darkfield 2.5X objective—the MPLFLN2.5XBD.
Wavefront aberration control High-end manufacturing processes—such as wavefront aberration-controlled selection of lens assemblies—are used for MXPLFLN series objectives. This process keeps variation in device performance to a minimum.

What Configuration Will You Build?Part of our BX™ microscope series, the BXC series has a wide range of options for each part, including the objective lens, revolving nosepieces, and Illuminators. The series is designed to let you to choose freely according to your use case. The versatility and modularity of these components make them a good choice for inspection or imaging applications, such as instruments designed for wafer alignment, bump measurement, and image stitching.

Advanced Options for System Design and AutomationVersatile directional darkfield Darkfield is used to observe scattered or diffracted light from a sample—such as scratches or flaws—on a mirror surface or semiconductor wafer. The MIX slider realizes darkfield without large, dedicated optics and enhances traditional darkfield with 16 individually controllable LEDs, enabling you to control the direction of light shining on the sample. In addition, this directional darkfield technique, achieved by using the MIX slider, can be combined with brightfield, simple polarized light, or fluorescence observation.
