Stylus-based surface profiling is a standard technique for accurate, repeatable surface shape, topography and step height measurement in applications ranging from semiconductor R&D to solar cell QC.
The performance, reliability and longevity of machined parts often depend on the physical characteristics of their functional surfaces. However, legacy surface roughness parameters, such as R a, are ...
Donald K. Cohen, Ph.D., founder of Michigan Metrology, talks to AZoM about the history of optical profiling, it's development and industry applications. Since 1994, Michigan Metrology has been ...
