Zygo have a full range of 3D optical profiler instruments that provide users with precise, quantitative and ISO-compliant surface measurements, cable of characterising structures from the micro to the Angstrom scale. With excellent noise compliance, Zygo’s 3D optical profilers can be found in laboratories and on shop floors in a large variety of industries. These include, but are not limited...

Key to keeping an optical profiler investment cost effective and relevant for the long haul is making sure that it will be adaptable as metrology needs evolve. Objectives are at the heart of ZYGO’s CSI Profilers, providing flexibility in field of view, lateral resolution, and slope acceptance. For that reason, ZYGO has worked to have one of the widest ranges...

Vibration Robust CSI Technology Manufacturing environments can present challenges in using precision metrology instruments right on the shop floor. Vibration, for example, can negatively affect the quality and precision of surface measurements in real-world conditions, often requiring special modifications, equipment relocations, or other compromises to address and solve the issues. To enable high precision, reliable and quality metrology in all environments...

Eliminate Instrument Fragmentation For decades, advanced experimental laboratories have been trapped in an instrument fragmentation loop. The traditional patchwork of an AWG, a standalone oscilloscope, and an external PC introduces propagation delays, synchronisation bottlenecks, and severe processing latency. The Tabor Proteus family redefines the instrumentation landscape. The Proteus is a fully integrated Software Defined Transceiver designed to sit directly at...

Electron Probe Microanalysis (EPMA) is a powerful analytical technique used to determine the elemental composition of solid materials with exceptional spatial resolution and quantitative accuracy.Using a focused electron beam, EPMA enables precise measurement of both major and trace elements across microscopic features, making it an essential tool in materials science, geology, semiconductor research, and advanced manufacturing. Achieving reliable EPMA results...

With the proliferation of high-speed peripherals in systems design, interface compliance has become a non-negotiable requirement. In particular, the USB 3.0 (SuperSpeed USB) standard demands stringent verification of physical-layer parameters, signal integrity and jitter performance. The RIGOL DS80000 Series oscilloscope, paired with the dedicated USB 3.0 Compliance Test software option, offers a powerful platform for performing full physical-layer compliance testing...

The CS548 isolated-channel oscilloscope can be used for Double Pulse Testing (DPT). This white paper illustrates the measurements that can be made, and how to interpret them. This paper should be read in conjunction with the CS1501 Insertion Inductance white paper, which identified the insertion inductance of the CS1501 1 mΩ current sensor to be 163 pH. Click HERE to...

A jet engine is a marvel of engineering. Its seamless orchestration of components enables takeoff, flight, and landing—events we’ve come to expect with confidence. But behind this reliability lies a world of extreme conditions and uncompromising standards.Jet engines operate at temperatures exceeding 3000°F, and this heat is not just a byproduct but a necessity for fuel efficiency and performance. Advances...
