Irvine, California – July 8, 2005 – Micro Photonics, Inc. today announced a new opportunity for those wishing to study stroboscopic vibrations of MEMS and Membranes: free demonstrations on the Fogale Photomap Profiler with stroboscopic vibration capability at the Semicon West Show. The Photomap 3D with dynamic characterization module allows in-plane and out-of-plane real-time vibration mode studies from 100Hz to 2MHz, steps of 0.1Hz and voltage from +10 to –10 Volts. Selections of vibration studies include: amplitude vs. frequency, or amplitude vs. time measurement. Tests are performed in electrostatic, piezo or thermal actuation.

As with all Fogale profilers, the Photomap 3D comes standard with the powerful Mountain Analysis Software. Micro Photonics will be showcasing this versatile instrument as well as the Micromeasure Profiler at the Semicon West Show, South Hall Booth 243.

Those interested are encouraged to bring samples for complimentary demonstrations during show hours. Micro Photonics is the North American distributor of Fogale Nanotech Profilers, and provides sales, installation, training and laboratory services for the series.

This exclusive technology is available from Micro Photonics Inc. Micro Photonics has been a leading supplier of materials technology instruments and laboratory testing for over twelve years. The company specializes in: Nano and Micro Mechanical Testing, X-Ray Micro Tomography, Ellipsometery, X-Ray Diffraction, 3D Non-Contact Profilometry, Thin Film Analysis, Biological Imaging Instruments and NSOM, SPM & AFM systems.
