Zygo NewView 6300 Interferometer

Description:

A scanning white light interferometer with sub-micron lateral resolution and single nanometer height resolution. Fast scanning allows for ~500 x 700 micron images to be taken in seconds. Includes 2.5x, 20x, and 50x external objectives as well as 0.5x, 1.0x, and 2.0x internal multipliers. The system also includes a green light source and function generator (+/- 10V) for use with the Dynamic Microelectromechanical Systems (DMEMS) option. This allows users to capture the time varying response of devices during steady state response. An amplifier (+/- 100V) is also included for devices requiring larger voltages.
