Portable emission microscope

The FA-1000 is a portable and modular emission microscope for failure analysis. It can be used in the lab or wheeled to the test floor and quickly interfaced with a wide range of testers. The optics and the camera can be placed directly on top of the tester, eliminating the need for a large box, a web of cables, and bulky hardware. The FA-1000 uses a proprietary CCD sensor to detect low-level photon emissions. With a spectral response of 400-1200 nm (attenuates at 1100 nm), the same detector can be used for both front and backside emission microscopy.
