From Leica Microsystems, Inc.

Vertical resolution in the balance between
numerical aperture and depth of field. Surface
analyses, fracture analyses, analyses of inclined or vertical surfaces or onsite inspections of large parts such as turbine
rotors are just a few examples in which the strengths of digital microscopes make the biggest difference
