Optical Profilometry Webinar

UK Surface Metrology Workshop

Presented in conjunction with the University of Huddersfield: Explore the most popular and innovative applications of Stylus and Optical profilometry

Accurate, consistent surface texture metrology is essential to product performance across a range of well-established and emerging fields.

This webinar focuses on surface profiling techniques, their most popular applications and newest potential uses, and how to correlate the areal feature parameters they measure with surface functionality. The recording also inc;udes real-time, in-lab practical sessions featuring Bruker's fully-automated ContourX-500 benchtop optical profiler.

Discover the Ideal Tools & Techniques for Surface Texture Metrology

Held in collaboration with the University of Huddersfield and with the support of our guest speaker, Prof. Liam Blunt, Ph.D., Director of the Centre for Precision Technologies, this workshop explores the capabilities and applications of Bruker’s Stylus & Optical Profilers.

Program Overview

TitleSpeaker(s)TopicRecording Length
Application of Areal Feature Parameters Prof. Liam Blunt, University of HuddersfieldAn exclusive presentation by Prof. Blunt on the application of areal feature parameters in relation to understanding surface functionality.35 min.
State-of-the-Art Surface Texture MetrologyDr Samuel Lesko, Sr. Applications Dev. Manager, for Tribology, Stylus & Optical Profilers, BrukerIn-depth exploration of new developments relating to the WLI technique which enable its application in fields such as rough and steady samples and thin-film, especially in studies requiring large samples.25 min.
Practical Session 1: 3D Measurements Dr Vishal Panchal, Application Scientist
In this real-time practical session, the ContourX-500 optical profiler is used to demonstrate 3D measurements including the surface roughness/waviness of a given sample and depth/volume of a scratch test.15 min.
Practical Session 2: Film Thickness MeasurementsDr Vishal Panchal, Application ScientistIn this real-time practical session, the ContourX-500 3D optical profiler is used to demonstrate film thickness measurements and explore the surfaces of the substrate and film coating from a single measurement.15 min.
