Measuring Microscopes
STM7

X,Y,Z axis Coordinate Measurement Microscope

Refined Optical Performance

The STM7 series uses the same UIS2 infinity-corrected optical system found in state-of-the-art optical microscopes.

As a result, observed images have high resolution and high contrast, with aberration thoroughly eliminated to help ensure highly accurate measurement in minute detail.

Reliable Measurements with a Stone Stage-Mounting Plate

To further improve measurement accuracy, the STM7 series uses a highly durable, vibration-resistant frame with a granite surface plate. This stability enables sub-micron level measurements with minimal error.

User-Friendly, High-Precision, 3-Axis Measurement

As modern manufacturing technology becomes increasingly miniaturized and precise, highly accurate measurements are even more essential—not only along the XY axis, but also along the Z-axis. Olympus responded by creating the first reflective active, confocal autofocus system.

Dependable Quality Based On a Strict Traceability System

The accuracy of Olympus’ measuring microscopes is controlled by a strict traceability system, and Olympus even offers traceable calibration at the time of installation.

  • Calibration certificate issued by Olympus Corporation Test & Analysis Center, and authenticated by ILAC-MRA calibration accreditation agencies (JCSS, JAB).
  • Traceability systems vary depending on periods and countries/regions. The samples used in STM7 calibrations are calibrated in each country/region. Please ask Olympus for details.

Stages that Fit Your Samples
Common Problems
  • Short measurement stroke precludes the measurement of larger samples•Samples must be rotated because the X-axis measurement area is shorter than the Y-axis measurement area
  • Due to the narrow measurement range, it is impossible to line up large numbers of samples on the stage to measure them at the same time
STM7 Solutions
  • The STM7 features a 300 mm x 300 mm stage capable of measuring large samples, including 300 mm wafers and printed circuit boards.
  • The X- and Y-axis measurement areas are equally long, eliminating the need to rotate samples
  • Long measurement areas for both the X and Y-axis allow multiple samples to be lined up on the stage for more efficient measurement
Maximum Measurement Stroke

Three stages are available, each with a different measurement stroke - 100 mm x 100 mm, 200 mm x 200 mm, and 300 mm x 300 mm. Whether your samples are large or small, we offer a stage that fits your application.

Faster, Simpler, More Accurate Height Measurement
Common Problems
  • When doing visual measurement, variations can arise in the height measurements between different operators. Furthermore, this measurement method is time-consuming and inefficient
STM7 Solutions
  • The STM7 focus navigation system reduces the operator subjectivity in height measurements. It also shortens the time required to perform height measurement to achieve greater efficiency
Simple, Precise Focusing System with Superior Repeatability

Olympus’ focus navigator delivers highly reproducible height measurement by projecting a pattern within the field of view and identifying vertical deviations. Slight errors can occur in height measurements taken with normal visual observation, even when focus appears to be sharp. The focus navigator, however, enables measurements to be made simply by matching up the marks, reducing operator subjectivity in measurement results.

Measure Complex-Shaped Objects Accurately, Quickly, and Simply

The ability to clearly and easily see the output display component of measuring microscopes is essential. Olympus measurement software deliver complex measurements with greater accuracy. The software also enables the use of digital cameras.

300mm Large Travel Stage
Square Stroke Makes Measuring Large Samples Easier. 

The 300 mm square length stage enables the same measurement stroke to apply to both the X and Y-axes, which means it can be used to measure large samples, such as 300 mm wafers and printed circuit boards without changing their orientation.
