• Very simple operation
• Excellent price/performance ratio: The achieved resolution and accuracy for the load and distance measurement is in the same range as that of instruments with a much higher purchasing price
• Minimal sample preparation due to large working area and open layout
• Measurements on dark surfaces without sample preparation
• For simple specimen's geometries sufficient positioning accuracy of ≤ 2 μm
• Due to its granite design, the device is extremely dimensionally stable, has a very low thermal expansion and is excellently isolated against vibrations.
• Additional vibration damping through closed measuring chamber and active anti-vibration table
• Easy operation through the customizable WIN-HCU®Software

Typical fields of application

Through the simple sample placement, the instrument is not only suitable for lab applications, but also for production monitoring on:

• Hard material coatings, general
• Ultra thin DLC coatings
• Protective coatings on glass
• Soil-resistant coatings (sol-gel coatings)
• Coatings of PC hard disks and CDs
• Very thin paint coatings
• Ion implanted surfaces
• Nanocoatings for sensors
• Medical technology (e.g. Implants)
• Matrix effects in alloys
• Biological materials
• Ceramic material
• Plasma-applied coating systems
