White light Interferometric Surface Profiler

 

 

The Phase shift MicroXam is a non contact 3D surface profiler which measures roughness, finish and texture of surfaces.
Interferometres ude the natural wave properties of light , reflected from a surface, to map the tinest surface height variations.

Features:

  • Comprehensive graphical software for the aquisition, analysis, manipulation, and visualisation of data.
  • Calculation of surface statistics including summit and valley analysis
  • Fourier and autocovariance analysis and surface filtering
  • Polynomial fitting, data filtering, scaling, masking and interpolation
  • Interactive zoom
  • X-Y and line segment profiles
  • 3D wire, hybrid and solid plots
  • Area difference plot step height measurement
  • Fourier analysis for visualising and chacterising periodic structures in surface maps

Applications:

  • Biomedical Optics eg.contact lens surface measurement
  • Hard Disk and Magnetic Media eg. 3D characterisation
  • Optics eg. telescope manufacture (Hubble telescope)
  • Polymer surface roughness
  • Bearing surface wear
  • Silicon Wafer Step Height
  • Thick Film Conductor Thickness
