Rob Bellinger of Olympus Corp. walks us through their demo lab in San Jose, California. We look at the LEXT OLS5100 3D Laser Scanning Microscope, MX63 Semiconductor Inspection Microscope, and the DSX1000 Digital Microscope available to see onsite!
We talk to Robert Bellinger of Olympus about the LEXT OLS5100 Laser Scanning Microscope.
Built for failure analysis and material engineering research, the OLS5100 laser microscope combines exceptional measurement accuracy and optical performance with smart tools that make the microscope easy to use. Precisely measure shape and surface roughness at the submicron level quickly and efficiently to simplify your workflow with data you can trust.
While automation may be replacing jobs, it is also creating new jobs. However, new skills are needed for today's manufacturing workers. Saar Yoskovitz, CEO of Augury, explains.
Job losses caused by the pandemic continue to affect millions, especially for those employed in retail and hospitality, two sectors essentially shut down during the Covid-19 crisis. One solution for getting people back into the work force is apprenticeship programs. Funding new apprenticeships provides jobs, generates long-term gains in skills, productivity, and earnings.
