The Nano Point Scanner is a white light confocal point sensor integrated into a precision measuring platform. With this system users can make submicron altitude measurements on any type of surface in a non-contact manor.
Why does this matter? Because users can very quickly scan a surface for 2D and 3D surface topography which translates into surface finish information. Now that ISO 25178-602 includes this kind of confocal technology, users are measuring surfaces previously too small to access with a traditional surface roughness tester (profilometer).
