Nondestructive testing (NDT) is used in engineering industries to test equipment, components, and materials without causing any damage. With a reliance on quality assurance and rating systems for tools to be used for the correct tasks, adhering to industrial safety norms is a large factor behind the NDT market.

The Profilm3D provides nanometer scale “Z” resolution for just $25K. Its unique optical interferometric measurement mechanism allows measurement of roughness, precision step heights, and surface finish with nanometer precision and repeatability.

We usually think of a “quantum leap” as a big thing, a great change or advance, and often when we are using this term, it is. Yet the term actually originates from atomic science and describes an electron moving from one energy level to another.
