This page was generated automatically from cited public sources and hasn't completed the full research pass yet. Every specification shown carries its source; more detail is added as research completes.
What it is
How it works
The Newview 5000 White Light uses scanning white light interferometry to image and measure surface microstructure and topography.[1]
The Newview 5000 White Light supports objectives of five times, ten times, and fifty times, and the operating procedure uses MetroPro software for measurement control and analysis.[2][1]
Where it fits in the process flow
The Newview 5000 White Light is used after a part or sample has been prepared, mounted, and positioned for optical focus and fringe alignment before measurement.[2]
Applications
The Newview 5000 White Light is used to measure surface profiles, surface roughness, step features, and microtopography on opaque and transparent surfaces.[1]
The Newview 5000 White Light can measure parts with maximum sample thickness of one hundred four millimeters and maximum vertical step height of five millimeters.[1]
Why won't it start?
Documented failure modes, common issues, and field considerations.
- Measurement accuracy may be degraded for surfaces with dissimilar optical properties.
- The operating procedure warns not to allow anything to contact the objective lenses.
