MountainsMap® Premium
Simply the best, most comprehensive solution for surface imaging & analysis
For all types of surface metrology instrument including profilometers, interferometers & confocal microscopes, SPM's and other instruments
ref: MNT6.S.PREMIUM
MountainsMap® Premium is the solution par excellence for multiple instrument types
- All-in-one solution with a small number of add-on modules for highly specialized advanced applications.
- Inputs the full measurement data set from all types of surface metrology instrument and analyzes surfaces in accordance with the latest standards and methods.
- Superset of all other MountainsMap® solutions, combining maximum functionality with ease of use.
High quality surface imaging with overlays
- View your surfaces in 3D in 24-bit colors, manipulate them in real time, apply different renderings and palettes, make movies of surface flyovers, etc.
- Clean up measurement data using powerful filters to remove anomalies, correct scan lines, and minimize tip, stylus or spot shape impact.
- Overlay color or intensity images from optical microscopes on 3D surface topography to speed up detection of surface features and anomalies.
- Overlay any SPM image (e.g. phase) on the 3D surface topography in order to study correlations.
Overcome instrument limitations
- Increase field of view by automatically stitching together overlapping measurements on the horizontal plane.
- Increase vertical range by manually patching together overlapping measurements on the vertical axis.
Every parameter that you will ever need
- Complete set of ISO 2D and 3D surface texture parameters, ASME B46.1 (USA), GB/T (China), DIN (Germany), JIS (Japan), NF (France), BSI (UK), UNI (Italy) and UNE (Spain) equivalents of ISO parameters.
- Includes the 3D parameters defined in the new ISO 25178 standard on areal surface texture.
Comprehensive analysis of surface texture and geometry
- Calculation of distances, angles, areas, volumes and step heights.
- Geometric dimensioning of profiles (contours) extracted on the Z axis and the XY plane.
- Roughness analysis based on ISO 16610 advanced filtering techniques.
- Wavelets analysis of scale levels and spatial locations where surface phenomena occur with continuous wavelet decomposition (2D profiles) and discrete wavelet filtering (2D profiles and 3D surfaces).
- Functional analysis including assessment of friction, wear and lubrication.
- FFT-based 2D and 3D analysis of process-surface interactions and other surface features.
- Grains, particles, islands and motifs (texture cells) analysis.
- 4D visualization and analysis of surface evolution with respect to time, temperature, magnetic field, etc, including location of areas of preponderant change.
- Execution of MATLAB™ scripts for application of custom operators to measurement data sets, for example custom filters.
Analyze sub-surfaces too
- Use segmentation, thresholding or binary masking to extract a sub-surface – for example a disk fixture ring, contact zone, MEMS layer, valley region - and analyze it independently, calculating parameters (e.g. flatness) for the sub-surface only.
Fast, traceable surface metrology report creation
- The highly intuitive desktop publishing environment (in seven European languages, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese and Korean) includes a page viewer for fast navigation, an analysis workflow for full metrological traceability and pass/fail traffic lights.
- Series of measurements can be analyzed automatically using templates and common sequences of analysis steps can be saved in a library for insertion in future reports.
- Data export (Excel .csv, text, bitmap, PDF).
