Higher
precision and better operability ensure more stable, efficient measuring |
| Motorized focusing dramatically reduces fatigue in Z-axis measurement. Motorized focusing is equipped as a standard feature. Since the Z control box, which is positioned by the operator's hand, provides easy focusing, it is no longer necessary to take uncomfortable positions to control the Z-axis.

Measuring Microscope STM6-LM
| New advances in operability, durability and precision performance place the STM6-LM at the forefront of today's new generation of measuring microscopes. With motorized focusing now introduced for the first time to this product category, focusing and measuring tasks are far easier and far less fatiguing for the user. UIS optics, the large, clutch-free stage and the high-rigidity body with integrated counter all contribute to new levels of operability and reliability. And for even greater measuring efficiency, auto focus and edge sensors can also be added. High-speed data transfer and flexible overall data control complete the picture of a measuring microscope that's setting new standards for its class. |
| Reliability Precise design and leading-edge technology: two keys to significant quality and process improvements Rigid body
and stage for rock-solid stability |
|
| Olympus has gone to exceptional lengths to ensure absolute rigidity in the microscope body and stage. Linearity is sustained by the use of a guide way that can support up to 15kg, thanks to the integrated base and stage. In addition, measuring error is minimized by the adoption of an originally developed optical linear scale based on the Abbe formula (which defines the ideal position of scale and measured object as on the linear line, toward the measuring direction). | |
| Rigorous manufacturing procedures for top-class quality control Olympus puts the highest priority on precision throughout all the stages of production and assembly. As well as maintaining a strictly controlled thermostatic manufacturing environment, skilled Olympus engineers apply the most rigorous standards to component material selection, high-precision machining, delicate finishing processes and final adjustment. All completed products and component parts are fully controlled under Japan's "traceability system", developed by the National Research Laboratory of Metrology on the basis of standards established by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. |
| Operatabilility Designed for easy measuring of large specimens using both long and multi-point measuring Motorized focusing for
Z-axis measurement |
|
| Clutch type large stage allows quick inspection of large areas The STM6-LM's stage provides a large measuring area of 250x150mm. All X and Y movements are clutch-controlled, and quick exchange of the axis is performed by simply moving a lever. Free movements on the X/Y-axis and XY plane allow even large specimens to be quickly and accurately inspected. Highly advanced UIS optics for edge detection and outside inspection Clear edge detection, which is indispensable for accurate measuring, is ensured by the superb resolution and high contrast of advanced UIS optics. The result is greatly improved inspection in measurement and also outer inspection. High magnification measurement and Nomarski DIC observation Three different types of incident light illumination units are provided to meet requirements right across the measurement range. Correspond to measurement objectives and metallurgical objectives using revolving nosepiece, brightfield, darkfield and Nomarski DIC observations are possible. The system can be freely upgraded by adding units according to need. Superior footprint body with integrated electric apparatus Integration of the counter and electric apparatus is yet another feature of this microscope's easy-to-use, space-saving design. The counter is positioned at eye level, allowing the operator to confirm the readout with a simple lateral eye movement. Readouts in 0.1 and 0.5µm gradations are both available and can be selected at the time of purchase. ŒA standard RS232C data communication interface is provided for easy transfer of data to a personal computer: data stored in this way can be used as a database using such software as Microsoft Excel. |

| Excellent
on Z-axis measurement Add-on features like auto focus and edge sensor for increased application possibilities Auto focus: improving speed and precision
in repeated Z-axis measuring operations |
|
| As well as providing greater ease of use, this improves accuracy in repeated measurements by reducing variations caused by differences between individual operators. Two types of auto focus mode are available: automatic following mode, which provides successive focus settings, and one-shot mode which instantly sharpens an image from the rough focusing state. The latter is especially effective for Z-axis measuring of the specimen's height. Exchange between the two modes is done via a Z-axis operation box (equipped as standard). | |
| Advanced edge sensor for
constant measuring results An optional hand switch is provided for making changes in magnification. The operator can change from low to high magnifications easily and smoothly, without touching the objectives. |
