Inspection & Metrology

Please provide the manufacturer, model, quantity, inspection target and measurement objectives, together with range, accuracy, repeatability and sample size requirements. For optical inspection, specify defect types, minimum target size and field of view. For film thickness measurement, specify film materials, substrate and thickness range. For leak detection, specify the test gas, test method and target leak specification. Include software and communication interface requirements if integration with an existing system is needed.

Not necessarily. Resolution describes the smallest change an instrument can distinguish or display. Accuracy describes how closely a measurement agrees with a reference value, while repeatability describes consistency across repeated measurements under the same conditions. These specifications should be assessed separately, alongside the measurement principle, calibration status, sample properties and operating environment. Resolution should not be treated as equivalent to accuracy.

The scope of supply must be confirmed item by item in the quotation, including software licences, cameras, lenses, probes, sample fixtures, cables and calibration documentation. Used or discontinued equipment also requires checks of licence transferability, operating system compatibility and ongoing support. Specify any required calibration parameters or traceable calibration certificates when submitting your enquiry.
