High Resolution CMOS Cameras Dedicated to Microscopy Imaging
The Apex Series of high resolution CMOS area scan cameras from JAI provides advanced colour imaging capabilities to OEMs and end-users of microscopy-based imaging systems. The Apex range includes six models of high performance 3-CMOS sensors prism colour cameras, as well as full integration with two of the most popular microscopy software solutions – Image-Pro® µManager open source software package.

With the standard C-mount lens mounts and USB3 Vision interface, the Apex Series cameras can be easily adapted to most brands of microscopes. The 3-CMOS prism technology provides much greater colour differentiation than standard Bayer colour cameras for bright-field or colour fluorescence applications, where subtle colour differences are critical.
JAI also offers the Apex 3-CMOS colour camera alongside a conventional single sensor Bayer colour camera, giving a side-by-side comparison of the technologies.
With higher frame rates than previous generations of 3-sensor prism cameras, the AP-3200T-USB (38.3 fps) and AP-1600T-USB (79 fps) provide the added performance needed for live cell imaging, time-lapse microscopy, extended depth-of-field, or other colour microscopy applications where real- time speeds or higher are required.
The Apex series also includes models without standard IR-cut filters. System builders can use these models to support applications where enhanced red sensitivity is required to accentuate specific dyes or stains, or to differentiate blood or blood vessels from surrounding tissues.
All cameras are compatible with the popular Image-Pro image analysis software platform. Image-Pro enables users and system designers to easily capture, process, measure, analyse and share microscopy-based images. Custom drivers allow the Apex Series cameras to seamlessly pass images to the Image-Pro software while allowing certain camera functions to be controlled from within the Image-Pro environment.
For those who prefer an open source, non-commercial software solution, the Apex Series cameras have also been integrated with the µManager (Micro-Manager) software. Again, device adapters have been developed to allow the JAI cameras to fully interact with the µManager software.

Optical and XRF Imaging and Analysis
Horiba Scientific has released the XGT-9000 X-ray analytical microscope (µXRF), which simultaneously performs elemental analysis and optical observation of samples. Incorporating Horiba’s proprietary X-ray technology, the XGT-9000 not only screens foreign objects in a range of production processes, including semiconductor integrated circuits, it also measures film thickness and adherence amounts with a high degree of accuracy. By integrating the features of a high-resolution microscope and high-intensity X-ray beams, the XGT-9000 performs non-destructive foreign-object analysis on samples, switching between high-speed analysis mode for rapid screening of foreign objects, and detailed analysis mode using the micro beams first incorporated in earlier models.
The XGT-9000 is equipped with three types of optical illuminations: bright field coaxial, dark field and transmission. Combining bright field coaxial and dark field illuminations enables clear observation of the samples with flat or uneven areas, such as semiconductor wafers and films. The XGT-9000 offers highly accurate and fast foreign-object analysis, enabling it to detect both visible foreign objects and invisible
ones down to several microns in size.
Irradiating X-rays are coaxial with optical observation images, which avoids any misalignment. Other improvements include shortened analysis time, enhanced mapping and image processing, as well as ease of combination with other analysis equipment. The software package includes quantitative and qualitative chemical analyses, thickness determination and image analysis features.
