<strong>Leica</strong> Z6 <strong>APO</strong> A and <strong>Leica</strong> <strong>Z16</strong> <strong>APO</strong> A. Motorized zoom systems for<br />
documentation, inspection and machine vision
When the human eye is no longer sufficient, optical zoom systems extend the resolution. In the<br />
macro range, the new zoom systems <strong>Leica</strong> Z6 <strong>APO</strong> A and <strong>Z16</strong> <strong>APO</strong> A allow for a quick inspection of<br />
complete objects – for example, an electronic circuit, a workpiece manufactured by a machine or<br />
an undisturbed biological specimen. The overview of a large section offers valuable context and<br />
relationship information. You can continuously increase the magnification of selected details for<br />
closer inspection. Here, it is not the amount of the magnification level alone which determines the<br />
quality of the information, but also the performance of the zoom optics with regard to resolution,<br />
contrast, image sharpness, image fidelity and color fidelity.<br />
Excellent optics for numerous applications<br />
The zoom systems <strong>Leica</strong> Z6 <strong>APO</strong> A and <strong>Z16</strong> <strong>APO</strong> A correspond to the highest quality standards<br />
worldwide and meet all requirements for first-class documentation, manufacture and inspection.<br />
The fully apochromatic optics made of high-quality, multiple-coated, lead-free glasses, in combina-<br />
recision<br />
tion with the planapochromatic objectives provide parallax-free imaging for authentic, detail-rich<br />
image material. But the two zoom systems are not only exceptional with respect to the optics, they<br />
also excel with respect to operating comfort at the highest level.<br />

Quality control of fiber-optics waveguide M12 mounting connector for industrial applications<br />
Comfortable motorization for quick and safe application<br />
In both systems, zoom, iris diaphragm and fine focus are motorized. This allows for automating<br />
inspection and documentation tasks in the future. For many applications, this proves to be extremely<br />
time-saving and useful, images can automatically be calibrated and inserted in a database.<br />
Reference scales, such as measurement graticules or µ-beams, can be inserted directly in the<br />
image. Using the PC control system, sequential recordings can be repeated under different conditions<br />
without any manual intervention, and test positions can be approached with highest precision<br />
using the optional motor focus, thereby increasing productivity multiple times.<br />

Fully automatic from now on: Inspection of large carrier materials<br />
The production of TFT or plasma screens experiences a trend towards larger carrier<br />
materials. For this reason, a continuous inspection using stereomicroscopes<br />
is<br />
uality<br />
no longer possible. Instead, the new <strong>Leica</strong> Z6 <strong>APO</strong> A or <strong>Z16</strong> <strong>APO</strong> A zoom systems<br />
are ideal for the inspection devices being used. In this case, the operator uses a<br />
high-precision XY drive to approach a random number of positions that are subsequently<br />
inspected for structural flaws using the high-performance optics of the<br />
<strong>Leica</strong> zoom system. Every position is automatically checked at two different magnifications<br />
that are preprogrammed and then automatically approached with the<br />

100% quality – 100% safety<br />
Fit for zero-defect production<br />
In every area of industry, quality objectives are continually reaching new levels; at<br />
the same time, the demands on throughput and productivity are increasing. For this<br />
reason, more and more companies demand DPM (defects per million) of less than<br />
100 from their suppliers. All world-class companies must even pursue a zero<br />
defects production.<br />
One important component in this endeavor is the quality control accompanying the<br />
process. It allows for detecting tolerance deviations and their causes as early as<br />
possible in the production process and removing them. This is the only way to<br />
avoid sustained follow-up costs from rejects, downtimes, warranty, image loss,<br />
etc.<br />
Higher precision, improved productivity and the resulting higher profits ultimately<br />
mean securing the future of the company and the participation in international<br />
competition.<br />
motorized zoom. This method can be applied with all inspection machines for<br />
microstructures, such as printed circuit boards.<br />
High performance – high safety<br />
With the <strong>Leica</strong> Z6 <strong>APO</strong> A and the <strong>Z16</strong> <strong>APO</strong> A, you are using the only motorized, fully<br />
apochromatically corrected zoom systems on the market. Combined with apochromatic<br />
objectives, these instruments are far superior to other zoom systems with<br />
respect to contrast, image sharpness, color fidelity and imaging accuracy. Every<br />
defect can be detected safely, quickly, and reliably. This gives you the security of<br />
an efficient, troublefree, 100% quality control, together with the ruggedness of an<br />
inspection system that operates with permanent precision even in a severe industrial<br />
environment.<br />
From individual measurement and inspection stations to system integration<br />
What is more, <strong>Leica</strong> offers components for individual measurement and inspection<br />
stations tailored to the needs of customers. The <strong>Leica</strong> zoom systems feature the<br />
largest accessory program on the market and can be combined for all applications<br />
in examination, training and documentation tasks.<br />

Large application options for<br />
smallest parts<br />
Perfect for the manufacture of micromechanical parts<br />
Thanks to new manufacturing engineering, it is possible to manufacture increasingly<br />
smaller mechanical parts. Assembly preparations and the assembly itself are,<br />
therefore,very complex. They can no longer be carried out with the naked eye. The<br />
new <strong>Leica</strong> Z6 <strong>APO</strong> A and <strong>Leica</strong> <strong>Z16</strong> <strong>APO</strong> A zoom systems facilitate, accelerate and<br />
improve this process many times over:<br />
Thanks to the excellent optics, the position and orientation of tiniest parts (up to<br />
1.4 µm) can be detected with precision. In addition, the apochromatic optics prevents<br />
any distortion and colored edges. This is particularly important since it is the<br />
only way to reliably achieve the highest possible manufacturing quality.<br />
Excellent acutance of the finest structures<br />
Simple optic systems provide an imprecise image, because not all spectral colors<br />
are rendered uniformly and bothersome color seams result. The <strong>Leica</strong> Z6 <strong>APO</strong> A<br />
and <strong>Z16</strong> <strong>APO</strong> A apochromatic zoom systems, on the other hand, are perfectly chromatically<br />
corrected and provide sharp, detail-rich, true-color pictures.<br />
<strong>Leica</strong> Z6 <strong>APO</strong> A – highest magnifications, highest numerical aperture<br />
optics<br />
The higher the numerical aperture, the better the resolution. Compared to other<br />
zoom systems, the <strong>Leica</strong> Z6 <strong>APO</strong> A with 6.3:1 zoom offers the highest numerical<br />
aperture: 0.117 nA (resolution of 351 Lp/mm) with the 1× planapochromatic objective<br />
and 234 nA (resolution of 702 Lp/mm) with the 2× planapochromatic objective.<br />
Details of the specimen appear in higher resolution, and the quantity and quality of<br />
information are increased. Because of its very high resolution, the <strong>Leica</strong> Z6 <strong>APO</strong> A<br />
is exceptionally well suited to industrial, scientific and medical applications. The<br />
<strong>Leica</strong> Z6 <strong>APO</strong> A is slim and compact and lends itself as a high-performance optical<br />
system for measuring and testing equipment, up to "seeing systems."<br />

Pitting in detail
Economic solutions for macrodocumentation<br />
Complete documentation solutions are indispensable to more efficiency and higher throughput in laboratories. The <strong>Leica</strong> Z6 <strong>APO</strong> A<br />
and the <strong>Z16</strong> <strong>APO</strong> A provide powerful prerequisites for this purpose. These zoom systems first macroscopically document the object to<br />
be inspected. The resulting images are automatically entered in the image database – such as the <strong>Leica</strong> IM1000. In the process, the<br />
motorized zoom automatically reports the magnification used to the software; hence, the scale is directly acquired and can be inserted<br />
in the image. The instrument is operated via foot switch so that the hands can be used freely. This process can also be applied in<br />
forensics, pathology, and in industrial laboratories – upon request also with the <strong>Leica</strong> UMC manual control. For the user in the lab and<br />
in research, this translates to significant time saved in processing as well as more precise data for analyses and documentation.<br />
Reliable test setups for high-tech developments<br />
No new high-tech developments without high-performance optics: Only through the observation of highly dynamic processes is it possible<br />
to gain precise analyses and information for possible improvements. For this purpose, the <strong>Leica</strong> zoom systems are combined with<br />
a high-speed camera and the test setup is illuminated by a strobe for the recording. Thanks to the motorization of the <strong>Leica</strong> Z6 <strong>APO</strong> A<br />
or <strong>Leica</strong> <strong>Z16</strong> <strong>APO</strong> A, the test arrangement can easily be changed and different states can sequentially be recorded without any manual<br />
intervention. Even more convenience is provided by the serial interface of the zoom. It leads to the distribution box which allows for<br />
direct connection of the foot switch, the <strong>Leica</strong> UMC manual control and the PC.<br />

This allows for total magnifications of up to 460× and a resolution of up to 1350 Lp/mm. With the standard configuration (apochromatic<br />

positions for tasks such as repetitive measurements and photographs. The high resolution, the parallax-free images made possible by<br />
the vertical beam path as well as the accessories for adapting high-magnification microscope objectives, for measurements, polarization,<br />

Superlative performance<br />
The planapochromatic objectives for the <strong>Leica</strong> Z6 <strong>APO</strong> A and <strong>Z16</strong> <strong>APO</strong> A reproduce flat objects such as thin sections, metal sections<br />
or wafers completely evenly, from the middle to the edge, with pin-sharp accuracy. The 1× and 2× objectives offer the largest working<br />
distances of any zoom system on the market – 79 mm and 39 mm, respectively. Large, completely uniform fields of view, outstanding<br />
depth of field and contrast-rich rendering allow fatigue-free processing and measurement of entire objects. For applications on a bonder,<br />
prober or swing arm stand, 0.8× planapochromatic objectives with a working distance of 112 mm, and 0.5× with a working distance<br />
of 187 mm, are available.<br />
