Bruker has released the next-generation benchtop ContourX 3D Optical Profilometers. The white light interferometry (WLI) platform features Bruker's new USI mode - a universal scanning mode that automatically determines the optimal measurement parameters for best metrology restuls. Additionally, a 5MP camera and new stage design significantly boosts large-area stitching, allowing for the collection of 1000 high-resolution stitched fields. This combination of features and capabilities enables greater convenience and productivity in a host of demanding research and industrial aplications ranging from studying novel material structures and characterising manufactured components for medical, automotive and aerospace.
