What it is
The Zygo Newview 5000 Optical is an optical profilometer used for metrology and inspection.[1][4]
The Zygo Newview 5000 is a non-contact three-dimensional surface profiler for measuring surface microstructure and topography.[2][5]
How it works
The NewView 5000 uses scanning white light interferometry to image and measure surface topography in three dimensions.[2][5]
The instrument forms graphic images and numerical measurements from interference fringes while the sample is scanned through focus.[3][2]
The instrument supports opaque and transparent surfaces, and it can analyze surface texture, step height, and related topography features without sample contact.[2][6]
