Introduction to the Micromeasure
Micromeasure uses white light & the unique chromatic aberration technique. This technique has shown to be much better than laser techniques in measuring roughness. The high precision tool also allows acquisition speed of up to 4000Hz which is unattainable with other techniques. With accuracy in the nanometer range and a maximum measuring height range of up to 24mm, the Micromeasure has the unique capability of not only be able to do very accurate roughness measurements but also can do dimensional measurements on the same instrument. Chromatic aberration technique has also the advantages of working for high angular slope conditions (up to 80degree for specular surfaces) and also it works on samples with low reflectivity. Therefore the Micromeasure works for a wider variety of applications compared to white light interferometry techniques. An option for switching automatically between up to 4 optical probes and 2 video microscopes allows programming of both roughness and dimensional measurements in one sequence. The system is equipped with two powerful complementary software. The SURFACEMAP user-friendly software allows easy setup of parameters such as the scan size, the number of lines, the step size, the translation stages speed, the data acquisition rate, the selected probe and also the area to be scanned selected using the video camera and more.

The 3D MOUNTAINS MAP data post-processing software allows a lot of surface and profile analysis and studies like : Abbott-Firestone curve, FFT, auto correlation function, 3D representation, slices and much more.

A multi-pen turret can now be added to the Micromeasure. By combining up to 3 magnifiers and 3 chromatic lenses, the user can now easily switch between 9 Optical Pen configurations. These configurations could vary in their working distance, measurement range, spot size, or resolution depending on which combination is chosen. Call for more details...
