3D calibration structures - expert know-how thanks to m2c calibration
With m2c calibration Matthias Hemmleb & Martin Ritter GbR, which became part of point electronic GmbH in 2017, the company grew to include a specialist for calibration structures and software in the micro and nano range. The know-how and product range enables point electronic GmbH to integrate highly functional imaging systems and control electronics with professional geometric calibration and automation, as well as the development of topography and 3D techniques in the SEM.
Our engineering principles
We look back on 30 years of experience in development and manufacture of high-performance instruments and technologies for microscopy.
We are driven by an ambition to expand abilities and to improve performance of electron microscopes.
Our aspiration is to make the best quality tools and to join our customers on their journeys of scientific exploration and discovery.
Performance
Microscopy must be a reliable and enjoyable experience
- Design for highest speed and resolution at the lowest noise
- Develop smart independent controllers for live optimization
- Support new users with simple and automated controls
- Assist advanced users with access to all parameters
Efficiency
Microscopes must provide an uninterrupted focus
- Use standard microscope controls and data formats
- Give instant feedback with live image mixing and processing
- Add bespoke software tools and algorithms for repetitive tasks
- Enable more developers with libraries and documentation
Environment
Products and technologies must be sustainable
- Reduce power consumption through smart design
- Minimize material use, embrace reuse where possible
- Save weight and volume for shipping and maintenance
- Enable everyone to develop sustainable innovations
Quantification
Data and control must be in physical units
- Calibrate, in production, for measured inputs and outputs
- Provide samples, procedures and software for calibration
- Give all control parameters in device independent values
- Ensure safe operation according to IEC61010-1 and IEC 61326-1
