Of note in the field of Mems research is the option to perform dynamic characterisation of vibrating Mems.
The fully automated measurement allows precise evaluation of both in-plane and out-of-plane vibration mode shapes and deformations in the frequency range from 100Hz to 2MHz.
Amplitude and vibration phase maps can be generated for direct comparison with finite element simulations.
The behaviour of Mems can be easily tested under controlled environmental conditions (temperature, vacuum, partial gas pressures) using the specially developed Vacuum Box arrangement in conjunction with long working distance Mirau interferometric objectives and stroboscopic illumination.
