This article focuses on describing the epoxy die bonding and any related die attach processes. The adhesive thickness and bond line thickness (BLT) are key to a reliable die attached to a lead frame or other substrates.
There are several methods for determining the nutritional content and quality of cereal crops and many of these involve different microscopy techniques.2 Optical microscopy enables visual inspection of the grains and, with the right microscopy technique, identification of the amount of starch and other nutrients.

Jake Porrazzo demonstrates the effectiveness of CleanBench in vibration damping and isolation, distinguishing the two concepts.
TMC's Gimbal Piston® Air Isolators excel in low-frequency vibration isolation, with MaxDamp isolators providing rapid settling for dynamic applications.
The advantages of laser scan micrometers are their accuracy, fast scan speeds and relative ease of operation. Laser micrometers can be used for object sizing and as helpful auxiliary tools in measurement – such as measuring the displacement of delay stages more precisely.
