A Danchip a number of instruments are available for sample imaging, including a several optical microscopes, an optical profiler, three SEMs (scanning electron micrscopes), an AFM (atomic force microscope) and two stylus profilers (Dektak). These instruments cover wide range of applications. | A Danchip a number of instruments are available for sample imaging, including a several optical microscopes, an optical profiler, three SEMs (scanning electron micrscopes), an AFM (atomic force microscope) and two stylus profilers (Dektak).

One of the advantages of the optical microscopes is that they provide fast and easy accessible information about any sample without any sample preparation. They do, however, also have some limitations. Since the depth of focus is quite limited, especially at high magnifications. Another disadvantage is the physical limit to the resolution that makes it impossible to image structures below 1 µm | |||
