For all types of surface metrology instrument including profilometers, interferometers & confocal microscopes, SPM's and other instruments
ref: MNT6.S.UNIVERSAL
MountainsMap® Universal is the best incremental surface analysis solution for multiple instrument types
- Entry level solution with a wide range of incremental optional modules for advanced applications.
- Analyzes measurement data from all instrument families in accordance with the latest standards and methods.
- Superset of MountainsMap® 3D solutions dedicated to specific instrument families (MountainsMap® Scanning Topography, MountainsMap® Imaging Topography, MountainsMap® SPM and MountainsMap® Form).
Real time high quality 3D imaging
- View 3D surface topography in 24-bit colors, manipulate it 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 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.
The most popular 2D and 3D surface texture parameters
- Calculate 3D height and bearing ratio parameters defined in the new ISO 25178 standard and EUR 15178 (Surfstand), ISO 4287 2D primary and roughness parameters, national BSI, DIN, JIS, NF, UNE and UNI equivalents of ISO parameters, together with and ASME B46.1 2D and 3D parameters.
Basic analysis of surface texture and geometry
- Calculation of distances, angles, areas, volumes and step heights.
- 3D surface roughness analysis based on ISO 16610 advanced filtering techniques.
- Basic functional studies including bearing ratio curve, depth distribution histogram, surface subtraction and more.
Analyze sub-surfaces too
- Use segmentation or thresholding to extract a sub-surface – for example a disk fixture ring, contact zone, MEMS layer or valley region - and analyze it independently, calculating parameters (e.g. flatness) for the sub-surface only.
Fast 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).
