This system is able to perform a wide range of measurements independent of the material being analysed, and can be used to characterise surfaces quantitatively. A laser light source and white light source captures colour and height information simultaneously.

Detailed Description
Measurement is non-contact and with high accuracy. The photomultiplier gives 16 times more sensitivity, ensuring 3D measurement data, over any shape or material, is obtained in a short time.
The system requires no specific sample preparation and there is no damage to the sample.
Uses/Applications
A fast, non-contact imaging system that extracts surface height information, for small and large samples using a highly-effective stitching technique which is automated over large areas. As such the instrument is used across a wide range of materials systems.
