Benefits
Laser Microscope Benefits
1. Sub-micron 3D observation/measurement

2. ISO25178-compliant surface roughness measurement

Measure surface roughness from linear to planar
3. Non-contact, nondestructive, and fast

No sample preparation is required. Place the sample on the stage, and you'll be ready to measure.
Reliable Data at the Push of a Button
Smart Scan II
The Smart Scan II feature lets experienced and novice users acquire data quickly and easily. Place the sample on the stage, press the start button, and the microscope does the rest.
PEAK algorithm: The OLS5100 microscope incorporates a PEAK algorithm for 3D data construction. This algorithm provides highly accurate data from low to high magnifications and reduces the data acquisition time.
Skip unnecessary scans: When measuring the shape of steps on a sample containing near-vertical planes, such as an electronic component or MEMS, the data acquisition time can be reduced by skipping the unnecessary scanning range in the Z-direction. A 100 μm step can be measured in about 10 seconds without degrading the accuracy (when using a MPLAPON50XLEXT objective).
Accurate shape data: The OLS5100 microscope’s automatic judgment system adjusts to the requirements of each sample, while the HDR scan acquires two sets of shape information by varying the detection sensitivity to build accurate shape data.

Measurement performance guarantee tailored to your operating environment

Accuracy and repeatability guaranteed
The performance of a measuring tool is typically expressed using accuracy, which indicates how close a measurement value is to its true value, and repeatability, which indicates the degree of variation in repeated measurement values. We guarantee the accuracy and repeatability of the microscope based on a traceable system so that you can be confident in your measurement results.

Surface metrology beyond the field of view
The OLS5100 microscope incorporates a length-measuring module in the motorized stage, and we guarantee the accuracy of the stitched image data. While previous laser microscopes stitched data based on pattern matching, the OLS5100 microscope adds the position information from the length measuring module to the pattern matching to provide highly reliable stitched data with guaranteed accuracy.
*Only for OLS5100-SAF/EAF
User-Friendly High-Resolution/High-Magnification Observation
Continuous auto focus
The microscope’s continuous autofocus keeps your images in focus when moving the stage or changing objectives, minimizing the need for manual adjustments. Permanent focus tracking enables you to perform observations quickly and easily.

Dual DIC for nano-scale, real-time observation
Detect minute damage in your sample with real-time, nanometerscale observation. Differential interference contrast (DIC) observation enables you to visualize nanometer-scale surface contours that are normally beyond the resolving power of a laser microscope. With DIC laser mode, the OLS5100 microscope can obtain live images comparable to those of an electron microscope, even when using a 5x or 10x low-power objective.

Comprehensive Analysis
Many analysis functions are available. The following is just an example, so please download the brochure or contact your Evident representative for details.
ISO25178 compliant areal roughness measurement
The OLS5100 microscope scans the sample surface with a 0.4 μm diameter laser beam, enabling it to easily measure the surface roughness of samples that cannot be measured with contact surface roughness gauges. The ability to simultaneously acquire the color image, laser image, and 3D shape data of a surface that can't be measured with a contact surface roughness gauge expands the scope of analysis.

Profile measurement/ Measurement assist tool
The profile measurement function displays the surface profile by arbitrarily drawing a measurement line on the position to be measured on an image. It also measures the step between any two arbitrary points, width, cross-sectional area, and radius. Unlike contact-based measuring tools, setting the measured positions is easy. The measurement lines and points can be checked on the image, so even a very small site can be measured accurately. With the Measurement assist tool, the point to be measured can be correctly specified using the highest, lowest, middle, and/or mean points. When a site is specified in the acquired data, the feature points are automatically extracted according to specified conditions.

Software
Simple Material Engineering and Failure Analysis Experiment Management
Managing experiment conditions when testing new materials is complicated, so the OLS5100 laser microscope’s Smart Experiment Manager simplifies the process by automating key steps, such as creating the experiment plan.

Automate Routine Workflows
Macro function
You can automate the entire inspection workflow using the macro production tool. Easily create and edit procedures, and then run the registered macro file to obtain reliable results. Combined with the Smart Experiment Manager, you can make pass/fail judgments with a single click.


Streamline Data Organization
Quick data sorting
Even if experimental conditions have not been determined in advance, conditions can be determined while acquiring data. Conditions can be changed during the experiment, and images and analysis data can be easily added by drag-and-drop. It supports flexible experiments tailored to the user's workflow.

Automatic data input
The software automatically adds values to your experiment plan matrix to minimize the chance of input errors. In just a couple of clicks, you can export your data to an Excel spreadsheet.

Easy Experiment Condition Data Organization
Automatic file name generation
You can click on each cell in the experiment plan, and the software will automatically generate a file name that contains the evaluation conditions for easy record keeping. Each file contains the associated images and data.

Fast Measurement Results
Tolerance judgment
The tolerance judgment function enables you to confirm pass/fail at a glance based on set tolerances. The tolerance can be verified by changing the threshold value based on the sample yield.

Heat map
The software’s color map helps you better understand that data you collect during your experiment. The colors and heat map percentages are easy to change. Intuitive chart layouts and heat maps enable fast data visualization so that you can spot issues earlier in the process.

Multidata Analysis
Comparative data analysis
You can analyze multiple acquired datasets side by side with their display scales and 3D display angles integrated. Image correction and analysis can be performed simultaneously. This is useful for analyzing the shape of multiple samples with different processing conditions or for defect analysis. Various images, profiles, and numerical results can be exported to Excel, making it easier to quickly arrange and evaluate your data.
