Optical Scanning
Profilometry (OSP)
 Surface
Mapping
The MicroXAM surface mapping microscope (ADE
Phase-Shift) is a non-contact, three-dimensional profilometer.
The capabilities of the microscope include measurements of
roughness, finish and texture of surfaces ranging from highly-polished
optics and wafers to rough surfaces, such as rolled metals,
plastics, and ceramics. In addition, the step-height feature
allows imprinted or elevated surfaces to be mapped, such as
micromachined parts or imprinted text. We can quantitatively
characterize surface features at subnanometer resolutions.
