QUALITY CONTROL
At Laxco, quality is at the core of everything we do. Each microscope undergoes rigorous quality control procedures throughout the manufacturing and assembly process to ensure optimal performance, precision, and durability. Our in-house QC team conducts thorough inspections and testing on every unit, verifying optical clarity, mechanical alignment, electronic functionality, and overall system integrity.
​
We utilize advanced metrology tools, performance benchmarks, and environmental simulations to confirm that every microscope meets or exceeds international standards. From component, level verification to final system checks, Laxco’s commitment to quality ensures that our instruments deliver reliable results across clinical, research, educational, and industrial applications.

In industrial environments, Laxco microscopes play a key role in product quality control and assurance. The LMC4000 Polarizing and LMC4000 Metallurgical series are specifically designed for inspecting metals, composites, and other anisotropic materials, ideal for detecting stress points, grain structures, surface defects, and coating uniformity. The LMS303 and LMS400 stereo microscopes are widely used for inspecting circuit boards, precision components, and assembly line products, providing clear three dimensional views critical for identifying manufacturing flaws and ensuring assembly accuracy. These instruments help industries maintain high product standards, reduce waste, and comply with strict regulatory and performance requirements.
LMS-4000 - Polarization
The LMC-4000 Series Polarizing Microscope is a vital tool for quality control in the industrial sector, particularly in materials analysis and inspection. Designed for the examination of anisotropic materials such as metals, minerals, polymers, and ceramics, this microscope provides enhanced contrast and clarity through polarized light techniques. It enables precise identification of material structures, stress patterns, and defects that are invisible under standard illumination. Industrial quality control teams rely on the LMC-4000 to ensure product consistency, verify manufacturing processes, and detect imperfections early, helping to maintain high standards, reduce waste, and support compliance with industry specifications.
LMS-4000 - METALLURGICAL
The LMC-4000 Series Metallurgical Microscope is a powerful tool for industrial quality control, engineered for high-precision imaging in materials science, metallurgy, and production inspection environments. Its infinity corrected optical system and LMPlan objectives deliver sharp, high-contrast images with true color fidelity across a broad magnification range (5x to 100x), enabling detailed analysis of surface structures, coatings, welds, and embedded material defects. The parcentric and parfocal optical design ensures consistent focus and minimal adjustments between magnifications, crucial for fast-paced inspection workflows.

LMS-Z303
In industrial environments where precision and reliability are paramount, the Laxco LMS-Z303 Stereo Zoom Microscope plays a critical role in quality control. Designed for high-precision applications such as PCB inspection, SMT assembly, semiconductor chip analysis, and the evaluation of metal and composite components, the LMS-Z303 delivers the clarity and depth needed to detect defects and verify production accuracy. Featuring a Galilean optical system with a 10:1 zoom ratio (0.8X–8X objective) and infinity parallel optics, it provides high-resolution, true 3D imaging with excellent contrast, ideal for identifying surface inconsistencies, solder joint defects, or micro fractures.
​
With a generous 100 mm working distance and dual ultra thin LED illumination for both incident and transmitted light, the LMS-Z303 offers bright, uniform lighting for detailed inspections without operator fatigue. Its ergonomic design ensures comfortable, extended use on the production floor or in laboratory settings. Whether used in electronics manufacturing, precision machining, or semiconductor inspection, the LMS-Z303 supports quality assurance processes by providing reliable visual verification at every stage of production.
LMS-Z400-BL4
The Laxco LMS-Z400 Series Stereo Zoom Microscope is engineered for advanced quality control and research applications in industrial environments where exceptional clarity, precision, and documentation are essential. The LMS-Z400-BL4 research model features a trinocular viewing head for seamless camera integration, ideal for image capture, documentation, and digital analysis. Equipped with widefield 10X/23mm eyepieces, diopter adjustment, and an infinity corrected optical system, the LMS-Z400 delivers high-resolution, true 3D imaging with minimal chromatic aberration, thanks to its apochromatic (APO) objectives.
​
Its powerful 12.5:1 zoom ratio (0.8X–10X objective) enables both broad overviews and detailed inspection, making it a versatile tool for reflective surface analysis, component verification, and failure detection. With a 100 mm working distance and an adjustable mirror for discopic (reflected) illumination, it is perfectly suited for inspecting metallic finishes,
micro machined parts, and other high precision industrial components. The LMS-Z400’s ergonomic and optical design supports extended use in cleanrooms, labs, and on production floors, helping quality assurance teams maintain the highest manufacturing standards.
