Ambios XP-2 Stylus Profilometer

The Ambios Technology, Inc. XP Stylus Profiler is a computerized, high-sensitivity surface profiler that measures roughness, waviness, and step height in a variety of applications. It features the ability to measure precision step heights from under 10 angstroms to as large as 100 microns ( 400µm with the extended sensor option), the XP profiler provides more than five orders of magnitude of precision Z height measurement. The profiler incorporates a new optical deflection height measurement mechanism and magneto static force control system which results in a low force (loads as small as .05 mg) and low inertia stylus assembly, making it the most innovative bench top profiler on the market today. These innovations combine to produce a surface profiler capable of measuring soft films and substrates without surface damage.

Specs & Options:

  • Measurement of vertical features ranges from under 10Å to approximately 400µm with a vertical resolution of 1Å at 10um setting and 15Å at 100um setting.
  • Measurements can be taken in metric or English units, which are selectable independently for horizontal and vertical parameters.
  • Up to 60,000 data points per profile guarantees that the horizontal resolution is generally limited by the stylus radius and not the number of data points.
  • Measurement of many roughness and waviness parameters with the roughness and waviness separated by user-selectable cutoff filters.
  • Motorized positioning of the sample surface to within a few microns in X-Y using the XP-2 configuration.
  • Many easy to use features, including adjustable force control, intuitive user interface, easy mouse control of measurement cursors and stage position.
  • Accommodates samples up to 200mm in diameter and less than 30mm thick.
  • 3-D and advanced analysis package extends the measurement capabilities of the XP-2 platform without new hardware requirements.
