Lext is claimed setting standards in usability and measuring speed by a special operation concept. A 2-channel live display provides the opportunity to show a conventional colored microscope image and a confocal image in parallel. After the scan area had been defined by focusing on the top and on the bottom surface of the specimen, the scan process is running automatically. To allow the scan of surfaces with different reflection characteristics, such as the substrates and copper surface of a PCB, the instrument features an enhanced mode delivering clear images. All measurement functions are available, such as to analyze the shape of the surface, the height, distance, angle and volume. Lext allows measuring of roughness not only on one line but also on an area. Interpretation of results is getting much easier as the surface can be displayed in three dimensions, and surface, waviness and roughness can be separated. An optional motorized scanning stage enables automated image acquisition and measuring on several points of a specimen. Defects of metal corrosion that cannot be shown by monochrome pics are displayed in 3D color images, enabling more comprehensive analysis than is possible by SEM (scanning electron microscopy).
