TOOL_2 job

JPG/JPEG/PNG/TIF/TIFF only; maximum 10 MiB and 100 megapixels.

Calibration and QC: If calibration is absent, physical dimensions are omitted and pixel measurements remain. Footer trim is for excluding an SEM metadata footer, not altering the specimen.

Interpretation Limits

Review the overlay, confidence, calibration, and warnings.

This screening does not establish IPC compliance, product acceptance, electrical performance, or root cause. Filled or blind vias may correctly return no PTH; ambiguous or low-confidence results require review.

Evidence handling

The website receives and stores the upload privately; processing and report generation take place on SEM Lab's local workstation. Case evidence and reports are retained indefinitely. See the Privacy policy for handling and retention, and the Terms before purchasing.
