Scanning Laser Acoustic Microscope. This equipment may be used to provide non-destructive analysis of components in such areas as delamination, cracks, voids, etc. In addition, it can provide information on the attenuation of materials at frequencies of 10, 30, and 100 MHz. The measurement is based on the transmission of acoustic waves through a medium (typically water) while the surface of the component under testing is continuously scanned by a laser. 3, record 1, English, - scanning%20laser%20acoustic%20microscope

A light microscope that has a high axial resolution and that is capable of optical sectioning by illuminating the specimen one point at a time with a focused laser beam and using an optical arrangement, where only the light originating from the focus can be detected. 5, record 2, English, - confocal%20laser%20scanning%20microscope

Le microscope confocal à balayage laser (MCBL) est un microscope optique à éclairage épiscopique géré par un ordinateur qui est capable de sectionner optiquement un échantillon épais. Son image est ensuite reconstruite en superposant toutes ou certaines des sections optiques. Le faisceau lumineux (laser) balaie la surface de l'échantillon au moyen d'un miroir galvanométrique et la lumière réfléchie ou émise (fluorescence) provenant de chaque point de la surface balayée est recueillie par un détecteur, numérisée et stockée dans la mémoire de l'ordinateur. Sur le trajet des rayons provenant de l'échantillon se trouve un diaphragme (pinhole), situé sur l'avant du détecteur dans le plan conjugué avec celui de l'échantillon (confocal). Seuls les rayons image venant du plan focal, qui est confocal avec le plan du diaphragme, parviennent au détecteur. Les autres rayons, provenant d'autres plans focaux, sont bloqués par le diaphragme [...]. L'image résultante obtenue par balayage au niveau du plan focal a une épaisseur extrêmement limitée (section optique) et n'est pas perturbée par des images floues des plans situés au dessus ou au dessous. Comme l'ordinateur déplace la platine dans la direction de l'axe optique Z avec des mouvements micrométriques prédéfinis après chaque balayage, le MCBL ne peut pas recueillir les images provenant d'autres plans. L'ordinateur stocke les images correspondants aux sections optiques successives. Ces images peuvent être traitées de multiples manières. 3, record 2, French, - microscope%20confocal%20%C3%A0%20balayage%20laser

A basic system for performing the fault isolation techniques uses a laser scanning microscope (LSM) to sequentially scan a focused laser spot over the IC. Scanning can be performed from the front or backside, with near infrared (IR) lasers used for backside probing. 2, record 3, English, - laser%20scanning%20microscope

Coffret pour l'intégration de l'électronique d'un microscope à balayage laser (Laser Scanning Microscope). [...] le groupe Carl Zeiss a présenté un nouveau microscope à scanner laser et défini [...] un nouveau standard dans la microscopie fluorescente. Grâce à un nouveau procédé de détection, il est possible de découvrir les liaisons complexes et les interactions des structures et composants cellulaires et de les suivre dans des cellules ou tissus vivants. Cet appareil permet d'analyser des surfaces structurées comme les métaux. Il fournit des informations sur la composition chimique, la contrainte mécanique ou les impuretés. 3, record 3, French, - microscope%20%C3%A0%20balayage%20laser

We have developed a legitimate fluorescence confocal scanning microscope (CLSM) using a near ultraviolet (UV) laser. This system has almost no chromatic aberration from the near UV region to the visible region (350 - 600 nm), and the objectives are designed as water-immersion type. Therefore this system provides the high-quality fluorescence image excited by the near UV laser, and high-quality image of deep points in a sample. 1, record 4, English, - fluorescence%20laser%20scanning%20microscope
