Required Technical Specifications for Automated Microscope

Camera and lighting capabilities Ability to use multiple cameras to increase sample imaging flexibility.

Microscope should have flexible lighting options (traditional lighting, ring lights, etc.)

Must include polarized, cross-polarized, and dark-field lighting options Camera resolution must be at least 4K

Lens/Magnification capabilities Wide range of magnification: Zoom lens with magnification from 20x to at least 2000x magnification

Stage Automated stage motion (up to and including 100mm2 travel range) allowing for multiple image stitching in both 2D and 3D, especially of larger samples.

Computer/Software/Interface Microscope integrated with the computer Unlimited licenses for postprocessing

Service and Support Lifetime service and support Limited downtime (provides loaner tool) in the event of microscope and computer malfunction

Laser-based elemental analyzer Laser-induced breakdown spectrometer (LIBS) attachment for microscope One-click elemental analysis without needing to pre-process materials (e.g., polish samples or put material into vacuum) Element analysis in 10 seconds or less Integrated software with database that can suggest a material name based on elemental pattern Analysis of light elements (e.g., H, Cl, F, etc)
