Features
Uncompromised, Best-in-Class Metrology
Built upon more than 40 years of proprietary WLI innovation, the ContourX-200 optical profilometer offers low noise, high-speed, precision, and precision outcomes that are needed by quantitative metrology.
Using multiple objectives and combined feature recognition, it is possible to monitor the features over a range of fields of observation and at the sub-nanometer vertical resolution, thereby offering scale-independent outcomes for quality control and process-monitoring applications in highly diverse industries.
ContourX-200 is strong in all surface situations ranging from 0.05% to 100% reflectivity. New hardware features consist of an innovative stage design for bigger stitching abilities and a 5 MP camera with a 1200x1000 measurement array for larger field-of-view, lower noise, and greater lateral resolution.

Widest Application Analysis Capabilities
With the help of efficient VisionXpress and Vision64 user interfaces, the ContourX-200 provides thousands of tailored analyses for productivity in laboratories and on factory floors.
New Universal Scanning Interferometry (USI) measurement mode from Bruker offers the self-sensing surface texture, and completely automated, optimized signal processing while providing the most precise and realistic computation of the surface topography that is being examined. The bigger FOV offered by the new camera and flexibility of the system afforded by the new motorized XY stage allows more flexibility and greater throughput for a broad range of samples and parts.
The hardware and software integration offer simplified access to top optical performance, thereby entirely outclassing comparable metrology abilities.

Optics
Better comprehend the underlying reasons for defects and improve polishing and finishing processes with precise and repeatable sub-nm roughness measurements. The non-contact metrology systems allow agreement with increasingly strict conditions and ISO norms for samples that range from tiny aspheric and free-form optics, to optical components that have complex geometries, to microlenses and diffraction gratings.
