Mid-Range Optical Profilometry Overview

This overview summarizes the technical mechanism behind some of the most popular optical profilometry techniques in surface analysis.

Profilometry for surface characterization and dimensioning provides invaluable insight to customers across a wide range of applications. At Covalent, profilometry covers a complete range of surface features using everything from atomic force microscopy (AFM) to optical systems to mechanical stylus systems.

This overview paper will discuss the technology behind three optical profilometry techniques offered by Covalent and the relative advantages of each of them.
