AI-based inspection detects, classifies, and measures defects directly in microscope images of components.

AI Image Analysis for Reliable Defect Detection

AI-based visual inspection with microscopy helps make quality control in industrial environments efficient by reducing manual inspection effort concerning defect detection, classification, and…

An Overview of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning

AI is rapidly changing industrial inspection, quality control, and manufacturing workflows. But not all AI technologies work the same way. From machine learning and deep learning to the newer concept…

Why the Future of Microscopic Inspection Is AI-Assisted, Not Fully Automated

The next wave of QC productivity gains will not come from building more automated inspection lines. Instead, it will come from augmenting millions of inspection decisions that are made manually every…

Some 2D measurements, e.g., lengths and areas, made on a PCB sample with a Leica measurement microscope using the Enersight software.

How to Select the Right Measurement Microscope

With a measurement microscope, users can measure the size and dimensions of sample features in both 2D and 3D, something crucial for inspection, QC, failure analysis, and R&D. However, choosing the…

Image of roundworm C. elegans acquired with a M205 FA fluorescence automated stereo microscope in combination with Rottermann contrast. Areas labelled with mCherry are seen as reddish purple.

A Guide to C. elegans Research – Working with Nematodes

Efficient microscopy techniques for C. elegans research are outlined in this guide. As a widely used model organism with about 70% gene homology to humans, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (also…

A fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) observed with an Ivesta 3 stereo microscope during fly pushing (sorting of the flies). The scale bar length is 1 mm. Image courtesy of M. Benton, EMBL, Heidelberg, Germany.

A Guide to Using Microscopy for Drosophila (Fruit Fly) Research

The fruit fly, typically Drosophila melanogaster, has been used as a model organism for over a century. One reason is that many disease-related genes are shared between Drosophila and humans. It is…
