Key Features |
Real-time imaging The acquisition and digital reconstruction rate (15 fps standard, faster in option) allows real-time imaging. Dynamic event viewing and active interaction with the observed phenomena are therefore possible. |
Robust & stable The short acquisition time (a few micro-seconds) makes the method almost insensitive to external vibrations and makes a vibration isolation table unnecessary. The robustness and stability of DHM™ permit stable measurements over long time periods to detect weak and slow deformations or movements. |
High resolution Interferometric axial resolution, less than 1 nanometer, along the vertical (Z) axis. Transverse resolution (in XY plane) defined by the numerical aperture of the objective (up to 300nm with oil immersion objectives), as with classical optical microscopy. |
Non-contact & strictly non-invasive Low-power visible light sample illumination (at least 10'000x less than confocal microscopy), no contact with the specimen surface, DHM™ ensures total preservation of your sample characteristics. Moreover, biological specimens can be observed without contrast agents, thus suppressing any type of chemical or physical disturbance. |
Cost effective solution DHM™ instruments have very low installation and operating costs. Adaptability and flexibility makes them very competitive in the high resolution microscopy domain. All these features make DHM™ instruments cost effective tools for R&D and quality control in production. |
User-friendly No sample preparation, no specific environments (temperature, vacuum, ...), no high precision positioning or orientation of the sample, the simplicity of DHM™ techniques makes it a user-friendly tool for quick and reliable measurements. |
Powerful 3D software Permits different operating modes with the same instrument to broaden the range of your applications. Offers unique DHM™-specific digital tools that improves the instrument's ease of use and robustness, as well as the measurement accuracy and stability. Implements standards and advanced measurements interfaces and external control possibilities in a convivial and flexible environement. |
All together, above mentioned features define an instrument offering unique possibilities for microscopy and metrology.
