MountainsMap® Scanning Topography

Best surface metrology solution
for contact & non-contact profilometers

MountainsMap® Scanning Topography provides real time 3D visualization and state of the art analysis of surface geometry and texture in accordance with the latest international standards and methods. It manages missing data points seamlessly and makes it possible to extract and analyze sub-surface layers in exactly the same way as full measured surfaces.

An extensive range of optional modules are available for advanced and specialist applications.

Real time high quality 3D imaging

 High quality real time imaging of 3D surface topography, with a wide range of renderings and user-definable color palettes.
 Surface flyovers (with movie output).

 Full set of tools for correcting image artifacts:

• Correction and removal of anomalous scan lines
• Stylus tip deconvolution
• Filtering of vibrations and spike removal
• Thresholding and retouching
• Resampling of the number of lines/point

Analysis of surface texture and geometry

 Full set of surface roughness/waviness filters including Gaussian (ISO 16610-61), cubic spline filter (ISO 16610-62), robust Gaussian filter (ISO 16610-71).
 Functional studies including bearing ratio curve, depth distribution histogram, surface subtraction and more.
 Calculation of distances, angles, areas, volumes and step heights.

Analyze sub-surfaces too

 Extract a sub-surface (for example a disk fixture ring, contact zone, MEMS layer or valley region).
 Calculate parameters for the sub-surface only.
