Measure the surface Without touching the part

Measure roughness, waviness, step height, flatness, and thin-film thickness with non-contact 3D optical profiling. R.J. Wilson helps you evaluate the right ZYGO system for your sample, measurement requirements, and operating environment.

Provide Sub-Nanometer Measurement Precision

3D Optical Profilers use light for high-precision metrology and are extremely versatile laboratory and production inspection tools. They play an important role in the verification of quality and design intent when sub-nanometer precision is required. This is a “go to” metrology solution, being non-contact, non-destructive, fast, and highly sensitive, with exceptional resolution and accuracy.

Zygo has been the leader in precision optical metrology for 50 years, with extensive application experience and a high level of ongoing support to keep your investment productive for the long-term. When making a specialized capital equipment investment, on-going application support and training are as important as the initial technology decision.

Important benefits of Zygo’s 3D Optical Profilers include:

  • SmartSetUp™ means you don’t need to be an expert to make use of this tool, improving ROI, quality, and productivity benchmarks on the factory floor.
  • SureScan™ uses hardware and software in tandem to detect vibration during every measurement and eliminate it before it has a chance to corrupt the data, permitting placement closer to production.
  • ISO 25178 and ISO 4287 compliance strengthen confidence in the inspection results.
  • Applications as varied as flatness, roughness and waviness, thin films thickness, step heights, and more on virtually any surface and material.
  • Wear analysis on virtually all types of surfaces can be measured, including on microbial biofilms, PTFE nanocomposite films, diamond-like films, silver tantalate coatings, as well as more conventional materials like metals, ceramics, and glass.
  • Biofilm research in multiple disciplines from life science to industrial processing search for answers on colony structure, resistance to antibiotics and chemicals, how they are secured to the surface via a biopolymer-rich matrix.
  • Leverage optional 2D analysis tools to augment the precise 3D topography with robust and precise lateral measurement and pattern recognition.
