There is a huge range of applications for this versatile microscope throughout materials science and industrial tasks. It may be used as a desktop instrument or integrated into wire bonder, and pull tester machines. Production quality control functions are fulfilled for both routine or critical applications. The SMZ800N is also ideal for failure analysis to determine and predict modes of failure as well as to verify solutions. Component surface examination, crack detection and corrosion studies are all carried out with ease, as is the investigation of composite materials, textiles and measurement of parts produced by machine tools, from critical aerospace components to building and construction goods.
Optoelectronic devices, microelectronics and micro-electro mechanical systems (MEMS) used in remote sensing devices such as accelerometers, in smartphones, and gyroscopes. These are all prime candidates for inspection with an SMZ800N. The stereo microscope and accessories are well matched to verify the integrity of medical devices including implants, prosthetics, and intravascular systems. Other applications are to be found in modern paint and coating technologies, watch manufacturing,  as well as the research, restoration and conservation of art works and antiquities.
