ContourGT-K0 3D Optical Microscope
Affordable, Quantitative, Bench Top Surface Metrology
ContourGT-K0 3D Optical MicroscopeThe ContourGT-K0 3D Optical Microscope combines exceptional profiling performance, operator convenience, and affordability into one bench-top instrument. The system utilizes white light interferometry to measure surface topography from nanometer-scale roughness through millimeter-scale steps, with sub-nanometer resolution. The system's new Vision64™ Operation and Analysis Software features the industry's most functional and streamlined graphical user interface to provide intuitive access to an extensive library of pre-programmed filters and analyses for solar, precision machining, printing, and medical metrology applications. With its combination of advanced interferometric design and ease-of-use, the ContourGT-K0 is both a perfect entry platform for dedicated non-contact pass-fail measurements and an expert-level tool for developing and testing critical surface texture parameters.
