Whisker Examination with 2M Microscope Michael Weber SAIC Intern Purdue Technology Center August 10, 2010
Equipment • Meiji Techno EMZ-5 Zoom Stereoscope • 7x – 45x as supplied • 18” telescope travel • 20” vertical travel • 360° rotation
Equipment, cont’d • Meiji Techno FL-150 Fiber Optic Light Source • 150 W quartz halogen • 23” flexible light guides • Rotary intensity dial
Initial Thoughts • Stable instrument, though heavy • Clear, sharp images • Accommodating design • No movable stage • Low max magnification • No incorporated image capture
Whisker Detection • Began observation on Pedigo’s samples from last year; electroplated Sn on Cu Metallurgical – 50x SEM – 100x
Whisker Detection, cont’d • Board #133, U41 – SACB/SnCu Metallurgical – 100x SEM – 200x
Conclusions • Have shown 2M scope capable of whisker detection as supplied • 30x eyepieces and 2x auxiliary lens purchased; total magnification 270x • Have to resolve image capture dilemma
