When to switch from tactile to optical profilers: where single line-based roughness & form is not representative.
- Ra, Rz, Rq, RMS – is this all?
- More and more specifications require surface roughness measurements in accordance with ISO 25178: Sa, Sq, Sz, or ASME. More and more processes require more robust, areal-based evaluations.
- An area tells more than a thousand lines
- A line-based roughness of just a few millimeters is supposed to describe an entire component. But as the exact location of the line determines the result—it will hardly replicate the true surface.
- When stylus tips wear out
- With stylus tips wearing out, the repeatability of your measurement results gets worse. The necessary recalibratiion, replacement and documentation slows slows you down.
- Contact with impact
- On films, delicate materials, sealing surfaces, optical components, or coatings, probe tips can damage the functional surface and affect the measurement itself.
- When time is of the essence
- Aligning, approaching, measuring — and especially repeating this sequence for covering larger areas — are not efficient. Optical scanning in a single shot, potentially even automated, boosts your productivity.
- When you aim for more
- In-depth analyses — for example, of microforms, steep steps, or tribological measurements —require more; this is where tactile measurements reach limits.
The Roughness Tester solves this – now up to 30% off until October 31.
Characterizing surfaces with high resolution — whether roughness, finish, appearance, microstructures, or MEMS
Solve metrological challenges related to roughness or (3D) texture with a vertical resolution down to the sub-nm range. Characterize precision-machined workpieces and functional surfaces after precision machining such as polishing, (flat) lapping, grinding and more. Support your machining processes with repeatable, valid measurement results. Inspect microstructures or microsystems for dimensional accuracy and quality – with the Roughness Tester as an easy introduction to non-contact 3D profilometry.

Roughness Tester package: Non-contact 3D surface measurements, precise & reliable.
| ~1.35 M points per scan | < 0.6 nm measurement noise | < 0.2 nm repeatability | 0.05–100% reflectivity | sub-nm vertical resolution |
The Roughness Tester is a slim but powerful configuration. One scan covers ~1.35 M measurement points, granting much more meaning than any single roughness line. Valid roughness values like Sa, Sq, Sz – in addition to classic Ra, Rq, Rz, RMZ values – in a single data set enable more reliable evaluations and decision-making, while being fully compliant with ISO 25178, ISO 21920, ISO 4287 and ASME B46.1.
With low measurement noise < 0.6 nm and high repeatability < 0.2 nm, this affordable profiler also handles varying reflectivities from 0.05% to 100% (from matte to mirror-like surfaces). With integrated vibration isolation, 4-year warranty and proprietary Sherpa measurement and evaluation software, this table-top profiler is ready to use.
Measuring non-contact means no wear on a probe tip, no maintenance, no defects on the sample surface, no unexpected costs. Start small with the Roughness Tester and save 30%—while custom Micro.View configurations qualify for up to 20% off.

FAQs
What can this Roughness Tester measure on my surfaces?
The Roughness Tester measures (3D) topography and (2D/line based and 3D/ areal) roughness on nearly any material, handling various reflectivities from 0.05 to 100%—meaning from matte to shiny surfaces. For steep edges and areas with widely varying reflectance, the integrated Smart Scanning Technology and HDR secure valid measurement data. For testing, send us a test object for a free feasibility study.
How to efficiently deal with recurring measurements like for production testing?
The latest generation measurement and analysis software SHERPA keeps offering practical measurement recipes for recurring measurements like in production environments. Define and save measurement, filter and evaluation settings as recipes — avoid operator errors and rely on reproducible, comparable mesurements shift for shift even with untrained operators. This one-click testing solutions will increase productivity for repetetive measurements.
