Product news

ZEISS has announced it will be highlighting powerful digital and confocal microscopes ideal for quality control and surface analysis at American Coatings Show 2016, to be held April 12-14, 2016 at the Indiana Convention Center, Indianapolis, IN. On display at Booth #542 will be ZEISS Smartzoom 5 digital microscope, and ZEISS Smartproof 5 integrated widefield confocal microscope for surface analysis in quality assurance and quality control.

The ZEISS Smartzoom 5 on display is a smart digital microscope ideal for quality control and quality assurance applications. Quick and easy to set up, fully automated, and equipped with dedicated quality assurance and quality control components, ZEISS Smartzoom 5 is so simple to operate that even untrained users will produce excellent results. A macro recording mode enhances the workflow for repeat sample analyses of the same type in a step-by-step manner.

Visitors to the booth can also see ZEISS Smartproof 5 widefield confocal microscope, a versatile integrated system for surface analysis. Fast, precise, and repeatable, ZEISS Smartproof 5 is ideal for a wide range of industrial applications in QA/QC departments, production environments and R&D labs, including roughness and topographical characterization. This high quality confocal system is driven by the powerful software ZEISS Efficient Navigation (ZEN), which offers maximum user comfort and increased productivity.

Non-Destructive TechniquesNon-destructive techniques (NDT) describes a variety of analytical techniques used to evaluate the properties of a material. Common methods include ultrasonic, magnetic-particle, liquid penetrant, radiographic, remote visual inspection (RVI), and eddy-current testing. NDT is regularly used in forensic engineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, systems engineering, aeronautical engineering, and medicine.Surface Area TestingPhysisorption studies fundamental parameters essential for the characterization of materials such as the specific surface area and pore size distribution. Properties such as porosity, strength, hardness, permeability, separation selectivity, corrosion, and thermal stress resistance can all be directly correlated to the porous structure of a material.Light MicroscopyLight microscopes or optical microscopes are used to visualize microscale objects under magnification, including cells, clinical specimens and materials. Lab equipment for light microscopy includes confocal microscopes, fluorescence microscopes, zoom and stereo microscopes. Microscope slides and imaging reagents are available for visualizing samples, as well as various microscope stages and incubators for large or temperature-sensitive samples.

Types of electron microscope include scanning electron microscopes (SEM), transmission electron microscopes (TEM), scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEM) and cryo-electron microscopes. Focused ion beam (FIB) microscopes are useful for modifying or milling a sample surface with nanometer precision, as well as imaging.

Quality control is a monitoring procedure or set of procedures that are put in place to ensure that a manufactured product adheres to a defined set of quality criteria. AutomationAutomation in laboratories and manufacturing processes enhances efficiency, precision, and scalability by reducing the need for manual intervention. It plays a critical role in improving productivity, minimizing human error, and accelerating workflows in fields like diagnostics, drug development, and industrial testing. Automation technologies include robotic systems, automated liquid handlers, and process control systems that streamline complex tasks and ensure consistent, reproducible results.
