Bruker announced the launch today of the ContourGT-I 3D Optical Microscope to enhance research and development (R&D) productivity and improve manufacturing throughput for industrial applications. The ContourGT-I has been optimised to accelerate and simplify measurement setup and feature-tracking and is the first bench-top profiling system to incorporate Bruker’s proprietary tip/tilt head design along with automated functionality, including turret, lenses and illumination. In addition, the system has been designed from top to bottom for vibration stability and robustness, including a space-efficient yet stable footprint with integrated air isolation.
From nanometre-scale roughness through millimetre-scale steps, with sub-nanometre Z-axis resolution, the analysis capabilities and new colour camera option establish the ContourGT-I as a benchmark for bench-top measurement and imaging. The instrument is the latest addition to Bruker’s ContourGT line of three-dimensional (3D) optical microscopes. These instruments feature patented higher brightness dual-LED illumination that, when combined with their vertical resolution, improves sensitivity and stability. Intuitive Vision64 provides an easy-to-use interface and powerful measurement and analysis software.
This combination of features and capabilities enables greater convenience and productivity in a host of markets, ranging from ophthalmics and medical-device implants to precision-machining and semiconductor manufacturing.
