MicroPhase turns any existing microscope or stereomicroscope into an affordable 3D measurement tool with no alteration of standard microscopy observation modes
MicroPhase from PhaseView, distributed in the UK by Armstrong Optical, is described as a simple, fast, accurate and cost-effective 3D topography device.
Based on PhaseView's patented digital phase technology, MicroPhase is said to be an ideal tool for surface characterisation and 3D measurements such as profiles, heights, roughness and waviness parameters.
Unlike complex metrology equipment, MicroPhase relies on fully digital algorithms.
With no need for complex setup or calibration procedures, 3D topography images can be obtained in less than five seconds with nanometre resolution.
MicroPhase combines 2D video microscopy with automated 3D micro topography.
Fast data acquisition, topography measurement and analysis are available at the push of a button.
MicroPhase is a fully certified measurement system providing data according to international standards.
It can be used with any transmission or reflection microscope equipped with a video port, without the need for additional optical components or accessories.
As well as being an ideal system for the quantification of general and engineering surfaces MicroPhase also offers easy detection and measurement of transparent samples in cellular biology and avoids the necessity of fluorescence staining to visualise low contrast components.
