What it is

The Nikon SMZ 100 is a microscope manufactured by Nikon.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Illumination is typically provided by a coaxial or ring light source, and the microscope may include a focusing mechanism and a specimen stage. The optical design is optimized for high resolution and depth of field suitable for detailed inspection.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Upstream processes include cleaning, deposition, etching, or assembly; downstream actions may include rework, documentation, or further analytical testing. The microscope serves as a non-destructive evaluation tool between critical process steps.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Additional applications include biological dissection, forensics, material science sample examination, and educational laboratory work where a stereo, erect image is advantageous.
