We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Microscope",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Power press and mould tools repaired in-situ from
Rofin-Baasel UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Laser welding system enables high quality repairs to be completed in a fraction of the time, by eliminating the time-consuming task of de-mounting large tools or moulds".
The day before,
we featured the news release Laser deposition welds correct tooling wear from
Trumpf: "Using the laser deposition welding process with metal wire or metal powder consumables can build up won surfaces on power press tooling or plastics moulds".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Vision Engineering
concerning its Mantis family of ergonomic stereo viewers
- take a look at Stereo inspection systems capabilities extended
which says: "A wider range of options for a family of stereo inspection systems offers extended reach, increased working distance and freedom of mobility".
Take a look also at the news release from SKF UK, Avoiding electric currents from damaging bearings,
as well as Over 4500 laser welding systems delivered from Rofin-Baasel UK,
and Laser-machining micro-tubes from Rofin-Baasel UK.
