Industrial telemicroscopy lab
The main aim of this lab is creation of a web-based network for remote sharing of tools and resources; in particular, the resources to be shared are the scanning electron microscopes (SEM) located in the territory of Sardinia (Monserrato, Pula and Sassari).
TELEMICROSCOPY
Telemicroscopy is a test bench for the interactive transmission of high-resolution, ultra-low latency video streams.
This type of transmission must be possible not only on dedicated connections but also, and especially, on the public network (Web), in view of the enhanced performance of new networks (broadband, new protocols).
The main research themes in this sector are:
- development of a server/client application for remote control
- development of a web application with the same functions
- creation of a user interface independent of the tool used
- experimental testing of a multi-touch screen as microscope control interface, both locally and remotely
- creation of a video-stream management system geared for each application, starting from existing compression/decompression standards (e.g. H.264/AVC).
3D ELECTRONIC MICROSCOPY
In collaboration with the 3D visualisation lab, this lab is developing a prototype portable photo camera for on-field acquisition of images, e.g. archaeological and stratigraphic images. The camera is interfaced with a mobile computing workstation, forming an integrated rapid shooting system for use also in the field, in ambient light conditions.
RELIABILITY AND DIAGNOSTICS
This line of research, strongly geared towards industry, focuses on diagnostics, especially of electronic components (with possible expansion to other fields). Chemical-physical sectioning, de-processing and highlighting techniques are used for optical or electronic microscopy detection of the cause of breakdown of a device that failed during operation, during acceptance testing or during life testing of a component or apparatus.
The correlation procedure (fault analysis) between external evidence of malfunctioning (fault mode) and the primary cause (the fault's physical mechanism) is the key of fault diagnostics. Evidence-backed identification of the breakdown mechanism is essential for submitting to the client corrective actions to be taken on the production line or, in extreme cases, to provide expert reports supporting claims, including legal actions.
