The Zygo Nexview™: An Optical Profiler for all Surfaces?
The Nexview™ is Zygo’s highest performance general purpose 3D non-contact optical profiler. It has been designed to see “More Data” on surfaces which have traditionally been difficult to measure for optical profilers. Materials such as matt ceramics, highly sloped angles, precision optics and film coatings are all measured easily. New Windows based Mx™ software and a high level of hardware... -
LATAB Strobe Controllers Q&A
Q: Tell me more about the LATAB Strobe Controllers. Like the lighting heads they are designed in a black aluminum housing. The controller is enabled for plug and play. Just connect the LATAB lighting head and the controller automatically identifies the lighting type by an electronic sensor and gives the maximum light intensity to the lighting head. The strobe pulse... -

Q: What are the General Specifications for the LATAB Continuous Mode Controllers? Supply voltage: 24 VDC +/- 10%, max. 2,5 A Power output: max. 1 A / 3 A Light intensity: 0 - 100% internal potentiometer Trigger input: 5 - 24 V, optically isolated Trigger frequency: max. 200 Hz Operation temperature: 0 - 65 °C Q: Are LATAB light heads and controllers suitable for industrial... -
Baumer TXD Series Q&A
Q: What protocol does the Baumer TXD use for data transfer? The TXD series uses the standardized DCAM protocol (IIDC V1.31) for data transfer, which enables simple connection of the cameras either using the Baumer-GAPI generic program interface or other image processing software which supports this standard. Q: Are the Baumer TXD’s backward compatible? Backwards compatibility means that the older... -
Lighting for Microscopy
The future belongs to LED technology. The long lifetime and high energy efficiency form the main reason for changing over to this technology for illumination applications in stereomicroscopy. The user has the choice to contrast his specimen directly with LEDs or with fiber optic light guides. Depending on what the requirements are in terms of price, performance and flexibility, the... -
Peak to Valley (PV)
For measurements made by Laser Fizeau Interferometers PV is frequently increased erroneously by outliers and artefacts of the measurement which the metrologist is confident are not associated with the surface under test. Methods for removing those outliers from the measurement result are not standardized. Introducing PVr Understanding the PV Specification download PVr A Robust Amplitude Parameter download PVr is...
