Color Imaging and Metrology Combined
The addition of high-fidelity color imaging, with exclusive side illumination and advanced algorithms, gives Contour Elite X users access to additional perspectives not possible on systems that provide metrology alone, as well as the capability to provide recognizable surface feature details for reporting. This enables users to segment data based on color or grayscale information to rapidly select areas of interest and collect critical metrology data from these specific regions. Combining high-end metrology with the ability to see, recognize, and display what was measured is of great importance, not only for understanding the data, but also for communicating the results.
Best Lateral and Vertical Resolution
The Contour Elite X system boasts the best combined lateral and vertical resolution over the industry’s largest field of view, with a sub-nanometer to greater than 10 millimeters vertical range. It includes the R&D 100 Award-winning AcuityXR measurement technology, which provides the ability to break the diffraction limit in your optical measurements. In addition, the system can utilize a megapixel camera that increases X-Y spatial resolution. A large field of view and objective magnifications from 1X to 115X enable characterization of an extremely wide range of surface shapes and textures.
Rapid, Non-Destructive Imaging
The Contour Elite X profiler is a non-contact system with a large stage that leaves your samples or parts intact and undamaged. Our patented white light interferometry (WLI) technology acquires height data with sub-nanometer precision that is independent of the magnification used. This means that, even when sampling over a million data points in a millimeters-squared image area, a user is able to collect high-resolution height data—all within a few seconds.

AcuityXR
AcuityXR® combines unique, patent-pending Bruker hardware and software technology to enable select Contour 3D optical surface profilers to break the optical diffraction limit and deliver lateral resolutions previously considered unattainable with conventional optical microscopy techniques. It works on smooth surfaces where the phase of the reflected light is used to calculate surface height from the white-light-interferometric signal, improving sharpness, clarity, and definition of scratches, defects, and surface texture. Additionally, dimensional repeatability on nanoscale structures is improved by a factor of 5X.
