Inline Imaging

Optional in-inline imaging includes integrated AFM or 3D profiler and a High-Magnification Microscope. The images are generated automatically after the test (indentation, scratch , wear etc.) without removing the sample from the tool.

AFM - Scanning ranges from 50 x 50 x 3 µm up to 180 x 180 x 14 µm

3D profilometer - Scanning ranges from 10 x 10 x 10 µm up to 500 x 500 x 500 µm.

High Magnification microscope - With revolving head and multiple objectives (up to 2000 X ).

Medium Magnification Microscope - For in-situ imaging and precise positioning; both top and side views.
