Reliable Turnkey System Solution:
Automated and Accurate for High Reproducibility
The CIX100 system is a turnkey solution designed to meet the needs of automated cleanliness inspections. Each component is optimized for accuracy, reproducibility, repeatability, and seamless integration for reliable data in a high-throughput system. The system provides excellent optical performance for fast inspections of circular and rectangular sample areas. Automation of critical tasks helps speed up inspections while minimizing human errors and the risk of contaminating the
sample.
Reproducible Imaging Conditions (Camera Cover)
Highest reproducibility by protected camera alignment to prevent unwanted misalignments.
Innovative Polarization Method (Detection Unit)
Detects both reflective (metallic) and non-reflective particles in a single scan.
Reproducible Measurement Conditions
The automatic focus drive helps ensure reproducible positioning for straightforward reinvestigation of detected contaminants.
Proven Durability (Stage/Stage Inserts)
The stage insert maintains a secured membrane position and features an additional insert for the integrated calibration tool or a second sample.
Excellent Optical Quality (Microscope)
Renowned UIS2 objectives and a high-resolution camera provide exceptional image quality and accurate measurements.
Easy to Use (Software)
Easy-to-use software guides users through the entire inspection process, helping to boost productivity and minimize errors. The interface has large buttons that are easy to click with a mouse or the touch screen monitor.
High Performance (Workstation)
While scanning the sample, the system gives direct visual feedback of classified and counted contaminants with color changes. Optionally, the system can emit an acoustic warning signal when limits are exceeded.
Sample Holders for Greater System Versatility
The CIX100 system supports various sample holders with either circular or rectangular inspection areas. This includes holders with white or black backgrounds for filter membranes with a diameter of 25 mm, 47 mm, and 55 mm; holders for tape lift sampling; holders with a flat surface for metallurgy applications; and holders for particle traps.

Directly Review Multiple Samples After a Batch Scan
The CIX100 system offers a batch mode for inspection of multiple samples at once. The scans can have similar inspection configurations or individual settings on each sample. After the inspection, it is possible to review the result of each sample separately and generate a report.
Reproducibility and Repeatability
The cleanliness inspection workflow is easy, so even inexperienced operators can achieve accurate and repeatable results. The preconfigured and precalibrated system, user rights management, and regular system self-checks help ensure that the settings are correct for reproducible inspection data independent of the operator or system. As a result, multiple departments and sites can apply the same quality standards at different locations.
The diagram illustrates the CIX100 system’s precision by verifying the measurement stability and repeatability using the process performance index (Ppk). The same sample at 5X and 10X magnification was measured 10 times, and the particle count from typical size classes was extracted. The diagram shows the evaluation of Cpk and Ppk on class E (50–100 μm).
Excellent Optical Quality
Our UIS2 objectives provide high optical performance for excellent measurement and analysis accuracy. A dedicated light source maintains a consistent color temperature optimized for cleanliness inspection.
Optimized Reproducibility
The preconfigured and pre-calibrated system has reminders for automatic system self-checks with the integrated calibration slide that helps maintain regular system verification.
Stable Measurement System
The optical path alignment, motorized nosepiece, and the camera are protected by a cover to prevent accidental modifications. For greater stability, all moving parts have been eliminated from the optical light path.
