Setting New Standards in White Light Interferometry: Making Data Quality Visible

Powerful hardware ensures fast measurements — that is obvious. In the smartWLI series, however, the available computing power is not only used for speed, but specifically for evaluating the quality of measurement data. As a result, an additional quality layer is generated alongside topography and image data, assessing the reliability of each individual measurement point.

Requirements for the Lateral Resolution of a Profilometer

Optical profilometry has advanced rapidly in recent years. While it was once primarily evaluated by how well it could replace tactile instruments, modern optical 3D profilometers now set entirely new standards. Thanks to innovative sensor technology, they record several million measurement points per second and deliver exceptionally high resolution in all three spatial dimensions. This performance makes them reliable reference instruments across a wide range of applications – from research and development to industrial quality control.
