Optical Systems

An optical system is the combination of an optical design with mechanical, electronical and software components.  
Lambda-X creates and design optical systems for multiple applications in multiple industrial environments. From optical principle to optical design. From Proof-Of-Concept (POC) to demonstrator and prototype. From proptotype to serial production through product industrialization.

Turret

The TURRET is an automatically driven multiple objective inspection system. Equipped with up to 4 objectives it is used as an OEM inspection sub-system in metrology tools for the micro-electronics industry.

Key characteristics:

  • Plug & play OEM optical sub-system (optics, mechanics, electronics)
  • Multi-objective, camera and motor set-up for automatic objective positioning 
  • Designed for back-end inspection of Integrated Circuits  
  • 300 units manufactured since 2009

Specifications:

  • Up to 4 objectives in one turret
  • Image quality controlled by through-focus MTF (every objective)
  • Delivered with calibration certificate (centered position for each objective)
  • Dust free (clean room assembly)
     

Hype Camera

Based on a proprietary design, HYPE is a robust hyperspectral camera, insensitive to vibrations, suited for biological and chemical imaging. Connected to a microscope it extracts fluorescence or Raman information from images with adjustable spectral resolution.
