The Olympus STM7 Series microscope can be measured by X, Y, and Z of electronic parts or parts with high precision and various options. Along with low magnification lenses, it can be used in various ways such as precision parts and metal processing.
Four types of stages are available, each with a unique square measurement stroke (choose from 50 mm x 50 mm, 100 mm x 100mm, 200 mm x 200 mm, and 300 mm x 300 mm). From small to large size samples, there is a stage that fits the sample being measured.
The STM7 accepts both a metallurgical objective and a measuring objective by exchanging a revolving nosepiece with a measuring objective adapter. This means that the STM7 combines both metallurgical optics and measuring optics in one microscope. In this way, the STM7 series satisfies a range of needs, no matter whether measuring a wide area or tiny region, measuring the size of differences between levels, or assisting the user in deciding on the best observation method to choose.
For the convenience of workers' work, the counter can basically be attached to the microscope body at eye level to check the measurements with minimized movement, and can be installed where the operator wants if necessary.
Operability is improved and handling fatigue is reduced for focus and height measurements when using the motorized focus unit. The coaxial knobs for coarse and fine movement offer a feeling similar to manual operation, while the models can also be equipped with an autofocus unit.
With use of the autofocus unit, the measured value remains
highly accurate regardless of the operator.
In TRACK mode, the image is automatically and continually kept in focus, enabling efficient height measurement in minimal time.
The same mode renders manual focusing unnecessary for XY measurements, resulting in even more efficient operation.
[One-Shot Mode] Instantaneously takes autofocus from a roughly focused state to sharp focus located at the center of the field of view.
[Track Mode]The featured TRACK Mode provides autofocus that tracks the peaks and troughs of the sample, even if the stage is moved, keeping the image continually in focus. This advancement greatly improves the efficiency of Z-axis measurements by enabling observations to be made without taking your hands off the X and Y handles.

Olympus has developed a dedicated autofocus unit for the STM7 series that delivers excellent reproducibility and rapid focus. As a result, highly accurate height measurements can be made within a short amount of time, irrespective of the level of operator experience.
