What is the VK-X Series?

The VK-X Series is a laser scanning confocal microscope capable of ultra-fine, non-contact profile measurements. Laser scanning microscopes use He-Ne gas lasers or semiconductor lasers as a light source for microscopic inspection. Laser scanning microscopes that use a special optical system known as a “confocal optical system” are known as confocal microscopes. Offering microscopic observation at up to 28,800× magnification with a measuring resolution of 0.5 nanometers, the VK-X Series is a microscope/measuring instrument hybrid.

  • Good product Ra: 1.8Good product Ra: 1.8
  • Defective product Ra: 1.8Defective product Ra: 1.8

The appearance and feel of these two products are different, but it is difficult to determine what values need to be evaluated in order to truly understand what makes them different.

42 roughness parameters are automatically analyzed, and the differences between the two surfaces are displayed.
A graphical rating system is used to quickly show just how different the surfaces are based on the parameter being analyzed.

The VK-X Series Laser Scanning Microscope is able to perform non-contact profile, roughness, and film thickness measurements on any material, regardless of the complexity of the surface. With the ability to capture surface information with nanometer-level resolution, users no longer have to be limited by traditional metrology tools, such as interferometers and contact profilers.
