Albert Einstein's discovery of the photoelectric effect not only helped to resolve the quandry of whether light is a particle or a wave (it's both). But also led directly to the development of CCD sensors, the fundamental technology behind today's digital photography and imaging. Learn more about the science of CCDs and how they work to create detailed and precise images that a broad range of applications, from light & color measurement to medical imagaing.

Today's electronic devices like cell phones, laptops, and medical devices present increasingly complex assembly verification challenges. These "hard" inspection problems push the limitantions of any visual inspection method—human or machine. Assembly verification requires inspection of multiple features simultaneously and at high speed. If not caught, subtle defects—such as misrouted cables, missing screws, or misaligned connectors—can escape and end up in customer hands causing latent failures. The cost of these failures can be severe in terms of returns and warranty claims, customer dissatisfaction, and damage to brand reputation. Learn how photometry-based methods offer new capabilities to solve the hard inspection challenges.
