SMS Series SWIR Modular Microscopic System

900-1700 nm SWIR Modular Microscopic System

The SMS Series SWIR modular microscopic system extends imaging from the visible spectrum to the 900–1700 nm short-wave infrared (SWIR) band. Featuring standard glass optics and high-sensitivity InGaAs imaging modules, the system ensures compatibility with conventional microscope platforms while enabling penetration inspection of silicon-based materials. Equipped with a standard C‑mount interface, the system is fully compatible with a wide range of SWIR cameras.

Application

Designed for next-generation material characterization and electronic testing, Attostek’s SWIR Modular Microscopic System delivers exceptional precision and clarity.
In semiconductor inspection, it reveals subsurface defects, microcracks, hidden chip fractures and soldering defects in silicon wafers and integrated circuits that conventional systems cannot easily detect.
For material science research, it identifies invisible cracks and structural flaws in ceramics, composites and high-performance materials.
In industrial non-destructive testing, it performs non-invasive subsurface component analysis without disassembly, accurately inspecting internal defects in silicon-based materials and ceramic parts.

Q1 : What are the main advantages of the SWIR modular microscopy system over a conventional visible-light microscopy system?

The main advantages include three key aspects:

  1. Enhanced material contrast – SWIR wavelengths can penetrate or distinguish features that are obscured under visible light, revealing more details inside materials or just below the surface.
  2. Cost efficiency – It allows direct use of existing microscope optics and works with affordable tungsten-halogen or LED illumination, eliminating the need for expensive dedicated SWIR objectives.
  3. Scalability – The modular design enables flexible customization for specific wavelengths, sensor types, or automation requirements, adapting to different application scenarios.

SMS Series Tube Lens

The SMS series provides multiple tube lens configurations to match different SWIR microscope objectives and image plane requirements. All solutions share Coaxial Kohler illumination and a standard C‑mount camera interface, supporting 900–1700nm spectral range with optional LED sources (1550/1400/1300/1200nm).

Objective Lenses

Microscope objectives are critical components of a microscope’s optical system. Positioned near the sample, specimen, or object under inspection, they enable the formation of a magnified real image. Attostek offers the M Plan Apo NIR series of objectives with magnification from 5X to 20X. Optimized for the SWIR band, these objectives provide a balanced trade-off between working distance, resolution, and depth of focus, making them ideal for semiconductor, materials, and industrial inspection applications.
