Zeiss introduces the Smartproof 5 widefield confocal microscope.

The new Smartproof 5 widefield confocal microscope from ZEISS is designed for a wide range of applications in quality labs, production environments and R&D.
The microscope is built with embedded optics, electronics and camera. It can work in production environments without additional anti-vibration equipment.
Utilizing ZEISS’s Smartproof software, the microscope system can provide 3D reconstructions and roughness measurements for a variety of workpiece surfaces. The software is designed to guide operators through recurring tasks, ensuring user-independent data acquisition for precise results.
In addition to geometrical measurements, the software enables roughness analysis in 2D (profile) and 3D (area), both based on ISO standards. The option to save workflows means that the same microscopic analysis tasks can be repeated indefinitely.
According to the company, the Smartproof 5 is especially well-suited to fast production and process monitoring, offering both high resolution and high speed.
