The Olympus OLS 5000 is a 3D measuring laser microscope. The Olympus OLS 5000 is also known as the LEXT OLS5000.[1][2]
What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA laser microscope in this class is a noncontact optical instrument for surface observation and measurement. A metrology and inspection tool of this type is used to examine features, surface topography, and dimensional characteristics without direct mechanical contact with the sample.
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA laser microscope forms images by scanning a focused laser beam across a specimen and collecting reflected or returned light. The instrument builds a measured surface representation from the optical response and uses that data for three-dimensional observation and measurement.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe Olympus OLS 5000 3D fits in the inspection and metrology portion of a manufacturing flow. The instrument is used after fabrication steps when a part or wafer feature must be examined for shape, surface condition, or dimensional verification.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe Olympus OLS 5000 3D is used for three-dimensional surface measurement and optical inspection. A tool of this type can support observation of step height, texture, and small structural features on manufactured parts.
The Olympus OLS 5000 3D is also applicable to general metrology tasks that require noncontact measurement of fine surface detail. The instrument can be used where optical inspection is preferred over physical probing.
