Expectations of Measuring Microscope Performance
Concept Design, Manufacturing, and
Evaluation of Microscope Main Units and
Components
A measuring microscope is a versatile instrument featuring highly accurate linear measurement as well as observation
functions. This combination enables detailed inspection of products such as semiconductors, electrical and electronic
parts, precision automobile components, plastic moldings, tools, and medical goods. Delicate workpieces that would
be deformed by contact measurement and workpieces with details too small to be traced by a contact probe can be
easily measured.
The essential element of a measuring microscope is an
optimum balance of optical performance, accuracy and
ease of operation. Objects that were previously invisible,
or only barely visible, can now not only be observed but
also measured. We believe that customer expectations
of measuring microscope performance will keep on
growing, and this must be matched by ease of use, high
measurement throughput and environmental friendliness.
Mitutoyo will continue to deliver high-quality and high-
definition measuring microscopes while maintaining our
commitments and beliefs in order to fulfill our responsibility
to support fundamental industrial technologies.
In-House Design
Mitutoyo designs all measuring microscope main units, optical systems (including lenses),
and the digital scales that are essential for accuracy.
This approach enables a level of support that otherwise would be impossible, and puts us
in a position to speedily comply with our customers’ specific requests as far as practicable.
