What: Cobra 3D Laser Scanner

Pertinent PERTINENT, evidence. Those facts which tend to prove the allegations of the party offering them, are called pertinent; those which have no such tendency are called impertinent, 8 Toull. n. 22. By pertinent is also meant that which belongs. Willes, 319.  Data: Scanned areas can range in size up to 5000mm2 on the standard model and much larger capacity is available on custom-built systems. Resolution perpendicular to the surface (Z-axis) can achieve 0.125 micrometer micrometer (mīkrŏm`ətər, mī`krōmē'tər).

, and changes in surface height of up to 8 mm can be accommodated. All scanning is non-contact--it's done by a low power red light laser--so fragile, pliable and sensitive samples can be measured without fear of damage.

 of surface features that linear profilers can miss. It does this by using precise computer-controlled motion to do multiple linear profiles that are combined to create a three-dimensional map of the surface.
