ContourGT-K1 3D Optical Microscope
Delivering Bench Top Three-Dimensional Surface Metrology Performance Demanded by Researchers & Required by Manufacturers
ContourGT-K1 3D Optical MicroscopeThe ContourGT-K1 3D Optical Microscope provides the most reliable and repeatable bench top characterization available for R&D, wear measurement, failure analysis, process control and data monitoring. Utilizing white light interferometry, the ContourGT-K1 performs fast, three-dimensional surface measurements from nanometer-scale roughness through millimeter-scale steps, with sub-nanometer resolution. The ContourGT-K1 microscope combines advanced 64-bit, multi-core operation and the Vision64™ analysis software that 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 cell, thick films, opthalmic, medical devices, and tribology applications. The combination of the easy measurement setup, fast data acquisition, small footprint, and optional 6-inch automated stage, will allow the ContourGT-K1 to deliver 3D surface metrology performance demanded by small research labs and required by manufacturing floors.
