IC Pattern on a Semiconductor WaferDarkfield is used for detecting minute scratches or flaws on a sample or inspecting samples with mirrored surfaces, such as wafers. MIX illumination enables users to view both patterns and colors. | MIX (Brightfield + Darkfield) | Darkfield |

Fluorescence | MIX (Fluorescence + Darkfield) | Photoresist Residue on a Semiconductor WaferFluorescence is used for samples that emit light when illuminated with a specially designed filter cube. This is used to detect contamination and photoresist residue. MIX illumination enables the observation of both the photoresist residue and IC pattern. |

LCD Color FilterThis observation technique is suitable for transparent samples such as LCDs, plastics, and glass materials. MIX illumination enables the observation of both the filter color and circuit pattern. | Transmitted Light | MIX (Transmitted Light + Brightfield) |

Brightfield | Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) | Spheroidal Graphite Cast IronDIC is an observation technique where the height of a sample is visible as a relief, similar to a 3D image with improved contrast; it is ideal for inspections of samples that have very minute height differences, including metallurgical structures and minerals. |

SericiteDifferential interference contrast (DIC) is an observation technique where the height of a sample, normally not detectable in brightfield, is visible as a relief, similar to a 3D image with improved contrast. It is ideal for inspections of samples that have very minute height differences, including metallurgical structures and minerals. | Brightfield | Polarized Light |

Infrared (IR) | Bonding Pads on a IC PatternIR is used to look for defects inside IC chips and other devices made with silicon on glass. |
