5 Things You Need to Know About Surface Metrology

Surface metrology, also known as surface roughness, is the study of the measurement and characterization of surface features.

Surface metrology not only connects product design with performance optimization and manufacturing yield, but it also provides insights for scientific discoveries and future engineering innovations. Multiple surface metrology technologies and techniques are available, making it difficult to choose the appropriate equipment for your specific application.

In this webinar, you will learn about the history, instrumentation, measurement parameters, calibration, and applications of surface metrology. Specifically, we’ll discuss how you can use laser scanning confocal microscopy to improve your surface metrology inspections.
