The WDI Laser Auto-Focus ATF5 sensor is an active optical device (incorporating a semiconductor laser) designed to provide focusing servo systems with fast feedback signals needed to quickly and accurately focus all types of infinity corrected microscopes.
The ATF5 projects a multitude of laser dots. Each reference dot is a source of a distance to focus measurement. This redundancy of information improves the sensor accuracy and facilitates reliable operation on patterned media such as TFT arrays or photo-masks.
