MicroSpy® FT - Budget-friendly optical film thickness measurement

The MicroSpy® FT is a budget friendly single-sensor measuring tool for  2D and 3D thickness measurements of films that are transparent or semi-transparent.

The tool is used in R&D as well as industrial production control. Main areas of application are the measurement of coating thickness and complex film stacks which are typical for products found in the medical, optical, photovoltaic, semiconductor and MST industry.
