Micromap 560 Interference Microscope

The roughness properties and micro geometry of surfaces are of importance for many tribological phenomena. The Micromap is an interference microscope that enables the measurement of local height-data of a range of surfaces. The Micromap has been used to measure a large number of surface types, products and applications.
