o Multi focus images
o Measure sharpness to estimate the focuses
o Use depth information to reconstruct as 3D Image
o Depth resolution ≤ 21.1um (depending on optics)

28. Impossible to take In-focused image
All the different height surfaces need to be examined. Due to the composite matters
such as specimen tolerance, the camera moving mechanism tolerance, camera

3) Image blurring is not based on real image distance

thus, image blurring is based on real image distance

A 3D display requires each point in the display’s visual field to generate the accommodative
response matching its virtual depth in order to have a true sense of surface depth.
If not precisely matched, just like images viewed through binocular, human eyes may experience
an accommodation conflict, causing unstable imaging, irritating eyes, headache, and with the
absence of accommodation information, the images completely lack a sense of surface depth.

Inspection
Method
• Non-automated microscope
• Worker’s visual inspection
• Focus controlled manually by workers

High overkill and underkill
• 3 shifts/day causes labor cost increase
• Poor productivity due to many overkill
• Underkill causes post-processing cost increase
• Impossible to set and maintain a clear inspection
criteria
• Limit of inspection result documentation
• Insufficient experienced worker
• High turnover due to difficult work condition
• Vari-Focus vision basis
• Automation algorithm
• Automated interlayer analysis
• Result of interlayer analysis
• Excellent repeatability due to automation
• Different defect criteria by inspection field
• Detection of micron defect such as stain, etc.
