What it is

The Nikon 276100 is a microscope that includes a stage.[1]

The instrument is categorized as a metrology and inspection tool.[2]

The Nikon 276100 is manufactured by Nikon.[2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Optical microscopes of this class use visible light and a system of lenses to magnify and image a sample placed on the stage.

The stage allows precise positioning of the sample under the objective lens, enabling detailed visual inspection.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

In semiconductor fabrication, microscopes in the metrology and inspection category are used at various stages to review patterns on wafers, detect defects, and verify process quality.

The tool typically operates after lithography or etch steps, where visual or optical characterization of features is required.
