Abstract: Methods of producing augmented probe system images and associated probe systems. A method of producing an augmented probe system image includes recording a base probe system image, generating the augmented probe system image at least partially based on the base probe system image, and presenting the augmented probe system image. The augmented probe system image includes a representation of at least a portion of the probe system that is obscured in the base probe system image. In some examples, a probe system includes a chuck, a probe assembly, an imaging device, and a controller programmed to perform methods disclosed herein.

Abstract: Microscopes with objective assembly crash detection and methods of utilizing the same are disclosed herein. For example, a microscope comprises a microscope body, an objective assembly comprising an objective lens, an objective assembly mount configured to separably attach the objective assembly to the microscope body, and an orientation detection circuit configured to indicate when a relative orientation between the microscope body and the objective assembly differs from a predetermined relative orientation.
