Measuring Microscopes STM6 & STM6-LM
Introduction
Versatile, High-Reliability Lineup Packed With Features To Meet Any and Every Measurement Need.

The new STM6 series offers more system versatility and higher performance than ever before. Maintaining the exceptional levels of precision and durability that have always characterized Olympus measuring microscopes, the series features a wide range of models to cover the ever-expanding user demand for new measuring capabilities and superior functionality. The range includes the STM6-LM, for fast inspection of large samples, and the high-precision STM6 which offer the most compact body in this class. In addition, multiple add-on units ensure that any and every user need can be met. Among the series’ outstanding features are motorized focusing (a world first from Olympus), highly advanced UIS2 optics, the high-rigidity body with integrated counters, and much more.
The STM6 series: create and built to perform today’s most demanding measuring tasks.

FEM analysis

 Rigid body and stage for rock-solid stability over long periods
STM6 series quality derives from two main sources: time-tested manufacturing expertise plus valuable feedback from actual user experiences. Recognizing that precision and rigidity must not only be provided but also maintained for long periods.

Long-life LED illumination, with little impact on measurement precision
An LED illuminator is used for reflected/transmitted coaxial illumination. The low-heat character of LED illumination pretects specimens from the effects of heat and contributes to more reliable measurement data.

Optical linear scale to gurantee sub-micron resolution    
All optical information gained through Olympus’ originally developed optical linear scale is processed and measured electrically. The precision of the scale is obviously critical to measuring accuracy - so to minimized error, this scale is mounted to the best position based on the Abbe formula, which defines the ideal position of scale and measured object as on the linear line, toward the measuring direction.

Traceability system for higher quality

Rigorous manufacturing procedures ensure top-class quality control
Olympus puts the highest priority on precision throughout all the stages of production and assembly. As well as maintaining a strictly controlled thermostatic manufacturing environment, skilled Olympus engineers apply the most rigorous standards to component material selection, high-precision machining, delicate finishing processes and final adjustment. All completed products and components parts are fully controlled under a rigorous traceability system.
