BSM Series - Short-wave infrared microscope system

Product Introduction

The BSM Series SWIR modular microscope extends imaging beyond the traditional visible spectrum and into the 900-1700 nm short-wave infrared band. By combining dedicated optics, high-sensitivity SWIR cameras, and a modular illumination and mechanical architecture, it enables non-destructive imaging for semiconductor manufacturing, materials science, and industrial inspection.

SWIR modular microscopy bridges the gap between conventional optical systems and specialised infrared imaging. The system maintains compatibility with standard glass optical platforms while providing silicon penetration capability, enhanced material contrast, and scalable configuration options for evolving inspection requirements.

System Advantages

Five core advantages building professional microscopy imaging platforms

Complete Ecosystem, Turnkey Delivery

Cameras, lenses, illumination, stands, and software all developed in-house. No need for multi-vendor procurement coordination, plug-and-play saves 60% integration time.

High Resolution + Large Depth of Field

45 MP ultra-clear CMOS + depth compositing algorithms provide micrometer-level depth-clear images within 30 mm field of view.

Multi-band & Low-Light Imaging

Supports white light, near-infrared, and polarization combinations with synchronized exposure of coaxial and ring lights; presents texture details even at 0.05 lux.

Flexible Expansion, Investment Protection

Standard C-Mount and GigE Vision/USB3 Vision protocols enable later upgrades to AI modules, automated stages, and multi-camera synchronization without replacing the main system.
