Accuracy and Repeatability
 | The performance of a measuring tool is typically expressed using two different terms: "accuracy," which indicates how close a measurement value is to its true value, and "repeatability," which indicates the degree of variations among repeated measurement values. The OLS4100 is the industry's first laser scanning compound microscope to assure both accuracy and repeatability. |
Traceability System
 | The OLS4100 uses a rigorous system of production for every component. From the objective lens to the laser head, Olympus delivers only the highest-quality systems based on comprehensive inspection to the strictest standards. On delivery, final adjustment and calibration is performed by qualified engineers in the actual measurement environment. |
Wide Range of Measurement Types
Step Measurement This mode allows measurement of a step between any two arbitrary points on a surface profile. Profile Measurement is also available. | Surface Roughness Measurement This mode allows measurement of line roughness on one line and plane roughness on the entire surface. | Area/Volume Measurement With a user-defined threshold level on a surface profile, this mode allows measurement of the volume (or area) of a geometry above or below the threshold level. |
Particle Measurement (optional) This mode enables auto-separation of particles with the separator function, setting of a threshold level, and setting of a detection range within a region of interest. | Geometric Measurement This mode allows measurement of the distance between two arbitrary points on a geometric image. The geometric shape and angle for circle, rectangle, etc. are measured. | Film Thickness Measurement (optional) This mode allows the thickness of a film on a transparent body to be measured by detecting changes in refractive index. |
Auto Edge Detection/ Measurement (optional) This mode allows a line width or a diameter to be measured by automatically detecting edges in a geometric image. This reduces uncertainty by eliminating operator error. |
OLYMPUS Stream (optional)
Workflow Solution for Improved Image Analysis Performance
After choosing the OLS4100 industrial microscope, final adjustment and calibration is performed by qualified engineers in the actual measurement environment. In addition, customers have the option to add OLYMPUS Stream digital micro imaging software for grain size analysis or nonmetallic inclusion rating directly to the OLS4100.

Improved Roughness Measurement
LEXT OLS 4100 Parameters
Specifically, for improved roughness measurement and surface analysis, the LEXT OLS4100 industrial microscope is calibrated in the same way as contact surface roughness gages. It has the necessary roughness parameters and filters required per ISO and JQA. This allows users with contact surface roughness gages to get output results from the system consistent with their existing instruments, with the advantage of greater speed and non-contact measurement. A roughness surface-specific mode enables roughness profile measurement for sample lengths up to 100mm with an automatic line stitching function.

LEXT OLS4100 performance is comparable with results of a sur face roughness gauge.
Micro Roughness
  | Contact surface roughness gages cannot measure micro surface contours less than the stylus tip diameter. The OLS4100 professional microscope can measure the surface roughness of micro geometries at high resolution due to a diminutive laser spot diameter. |
Non-Contact Measurement
Since a contact surface roughness gage uses a hard needle-shaped stylus, it is more likely to scratch the surface of a soft specimen. With adhesive specimens, on the other hand, the stylus can attach to the specimen and be damaged when pulled. The OLS4100 is a noncontact industrial microscope that can correctly identify a measuring position and easily perform accurate surface roughness measurement of a micro area regardless of surface texture conditions.

Measurement of Features at the Micron Level
|  | Surface roughness gauges cannot measure micron-level features since their styli are not able to access these areas. The OLS4100 can correctly identify a measuring position and easily perform roughness measurement of a target micro area. |
High-Quality Imaging
Crystal-Clear 3D Color Images
Three Types of Integrated Images
The OLS4100 industrial microscope can acquire three different types of information at the same time: a true-color optical microscope image, a laser microscope image, and height map. Operators can also capture an optical microscope image consisting of in-focus pixels only and integrate them with a true-color optical microscope image containing height information for crystal-clear 3D surface roughness color images.

 2D Color Image (Inkjet Dots on Paper, Objective Lens 20x) |  3D Color Image (Inkjet Dots on Paper, Objective Lens 20x) | Thanks to a white LED light and a high-color-fidelity CCD camera in the OLS4100 industrial microscope, you can generate clear, natural-looking color images, comparable to those obtained with high-grade optical microscopes. |
Realistic Surface Reproduction, Laser DIC (Differential Interference Contrast)
 Laser Image without DIC (Polymer Film) | Realistic Surface Reproduction, Laser DIC (Differential Interference Contrast) Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) is an observation method used to visualize nanometer micro surface contours, which normally lie far beyond the resolving power of a laser microscope. This DIC laser mode in the OLS4100 industrial microscope allows you to obtain live images comparable to those of an electron microscope under relatively low power magnifications. |

Optimized Balance Between Brightness and Contrast, HDR (High Dynamic Range) Imaging
 Color Image without HDR (Super-Density Fabric, Objective Lens 20x, Zoom 1x) | In addition to the previous capabilities, the OLS4100's High Dynamic Range (HDR) function combines several optical microscope images captured using different exposures. Brightness, contrast, texture and saturation are controlled individually for HDR to create images with a wide dynamic range. This enables clear visualization of a color image, especially for samples lacking texture. |

Stabilization of Measurement and Imaging Environments
 Hybrid Vibration-Dampening Mechanism | To eliminate external influences on measurement and imaging, the OLS4100 incorporates a hybrid vibration dampening mechanism using coil springs and dampening rubber to stabilize the operating environment. This eliminates the need for a dedicated vibration-dampening stand, allowing measurements on any desktop. |
Systematic Workflow via Intuitive GUI
Easy Three-Step Process
With the LEXT OLS4100, observation or measurement begins immediately once the sample is placed on the stage. Thanks to our easy three-step “Imaging, Measurement and Reports” process, measurement procedures can be quickly mastered, even by those not familiar with laser microscopy.
Keeping Track of the Sample
Macro Map Functionality
 | Once you receive your OLS4100, you can begin observation or measurement immediately once the sample is placed on the stage. Our easy three-step “Imaging, Measurement and Reports” process set-up means that measurement procedures can be quickly mastered, even by those not familiar with industrial laser microscopy, simply by selecting the operating mode suitable for the operator’s experience level. |
Fast Macro Map Stitching
 | Two stitching methods are available for scanning large areas: Manual mode for live image acquisition and Automatic mode for faster image acquisition. Operation is quick and simple—2D stitching starts automatically at the touch of a single button, and wide area images are acquired immediately. The stitching size is available from five steps in 3x3, 5x5, 7x7, 9x9, and 21x21 in Automatic mode. Unnecessary parts of the acquired images can also be removed manually with simple mouse/joystick operation. |
Smart Scan for Simple 3D Imaging
Automatic 3D Image Acquisition
Since conventional 3D scanning requires complicated settings that are difficult for novice users, Smart Scan mode lets first-time users quickly acquire 3D roughness images with one click. In addition to upper and lower limit settings, appropriate brightness level is automatically set up by the system based on the image to be captured. All of these functions speed the imaging, measuring and reporting processes, besides making them reliable with same-use by all operators.
Automatic Brightness Control
Brightness Control on a Plane Brightness Control with a Range of Height.
Greater Reduction of Acquisition Time
Improved Scanning Speed
The new Ultra-Fast mode allows scanned image acquisition at twice the speed of conventional Fast mode, and approximately nine times the speed of Fine mode. This makes it possible to measure micro-samples with very steep angles, such as the tip of a knife, which is difficult to observe due to fine Z-step movement and high magnification.
Number of images acquired in a set amount of elapsed time:
Actual scanning time varies depending on magnification in use and Z-acquisition range.
High-Speed Acquisition of Required Areas Only
 Acquisition with a Full Scan |  Acquisition with Band Scan (1/8th ) | The OLS4100 also comes with a Band Scan mode for measurement of limited target areas, providing measurement performance 1/8th faster than conventional modes. |
New High-Speed Stitching Mode
Specify Target Areas from Wider-Area Stitched Images
As in macro mapping, the area to be observed can be specified from a wide area map. In Automatic mode, an area map can be automatically generated in roughly half the time it normally takes by setting a rectangular stitching size of up to 625 images. Observation can begin immediately once the target area is specified on the area map.
 |
Stitching Area: Square (21x3) 63 Pieces |
Manually Specifying Required Image Areas
 | In Live mode, the area to be observed can be selected manually by tracing the required region onscreen. This is ideal when the sample has an irregular shape. |
Quick Image Acquisition
 Smart Scan Mode |  Conventional Acquisition Mode | In Smart Scan mode, all it takes is the click of a button. As the location across the Z-axis is automatically adjusted, image acquisition in the Z-axis direction can be restricted to required areas only, for rapid high-power observation across a wide area. |
Customizable Reports at the Touch of a Button
 | The OLS4100 professional microscope generates customizable reports at the touch of a button after measurement, and an edit function allows the operator to customize each report template, too. Copying and pasting measured results into a document or spreadsheet is also quite simple, as is retrieving required images or reports from a database. |
One-Click Solutions
 | A detailed user-designed wizard function eliminates the need for lengthy training and allows quick and easy operation by new operators. |
