WLI: Zygo NewView 9000 White Light Interferometer
Overview
The NewView™ 9000 is a high-performance 3D optical surface profiler engineered for maximum versatility in non-contact surface characterization. It provides sub-nanometer vertical precision across the full magnification range, with high speed and reliability. The system accommodates diverse sample geometries — smooth, rough, flat, sloped, and stepped — all without sample preparation. High-speed acquisition, a large high-sensitivity 1.9 MP sensor, automated focus/tools, and robust vibration immunity ensure efficient and repeatable metrology even in challenging environments. Flexible hardware configurations support manual or fully automated staging, and the triple-zoom turret allows optics to be tailored to user needs. Mx™ software provides complete control, analysis, and automation, enabling workflows from basic surface roughness to advanced thin-film analysis and complex 3D topographic mapping.
Features:
- Motorized stage travel range: XY 150mm, Tilt ±3°
- Motorized 3-position encoded zoom turret with 1.0X Zoom tube
- Scanner: precision piezo drive with closed loop control & crash protection
- Measurement techniques: 3D coherence scanning interferometry, SureScan technology, phase shifting interferometry
