Non-contact optical profiler offers non-destructive 3-D measurements.


The Xi-100 non-contact optical profiler is highlighted in this four-page, four-color brochure. This non-contact, three-dimensional surface measurement system is said to feature fast, non-destructive measurements, point and shoot operation, high resolution, accuracy and repeatability on smooth or rough surfaces, and is said to be highly affordable.

The Xi-100 optical profiler is said to rapidly and quantitatively measure the microscopic microscopic /mi·cro·scop·ic/ (mi?kro-skop´ik)

The Xi-100 is said to complement the company's XP Series of stylus-type surface profilers by combining white light and phase-shifting interferometry for precise, non-destructive surface measurements that are internally and permanently referenced to a standard wavelength of light, according to according to

The company is said to bring a strong technological emphasis, rigorous attention to quality and superior price/performance value to all the products it offers to meet the critical demands of many surface measurement applications, such as surface roughness, precision step height, surface form and texture, thin film thickness and high resolution surface imaging.

The Xi-100 is designed for the researcher who is interested in getting fast, repeatable data from an instrument that is not encumbered Encumbered
