An expanded topography package enhances the microscope's capabilities for non-contact optical 2-D and 3-D surface analysis.
In addition to the convenient acquisition, processing and presentation of XYZ image stacks, the package now allows the recording of XZ profiles along a straight line or free-hand curve.
Topographic animations can be generated and exported in all 3-D presentation modes.
Complete processing runs including filtering, fitting and least-squares algorithms are saved as parameter files that can be later re-used.
StitchArt, the new Pascal software, allows high-resolution recording of long profiles and topographies extending over more than 100 times the microscope's scanning field.
This enables the LSM 5 Pascal to acquire and measure arrays of highly resolved image stacks containing long-strip assembled height profiles and large-area segments of material sample surfaces.
StitchArt matches the imaging frame size to the application, making it suitable for everything from roughness to waviness analysis, thin films to steep edges, and micro- or macro-scales.
The LSM 5 Pascal is also now available with three new microscope stands: Axioskop 2 MAT, Axiovert 200 MAT and Axiotron 2.
This makes non-contact 3D materials analysis of large-surface and bulky specimens simple, enabling nanometer-scale height steps can be measured quickly and precisely.
