FR-uProbe

Extend your microscope in a powerful film thickness measurement tool

Introduction

FR-uProbe, simply attaches to the C-mount adapter of most commercially available optical microscopes (reflectance and / or transmittance) and provides:

  • Real-time spectroscopic measurements at the
    wavelength range supported by the microscope
  • Film thickness, optical properties, non-uniformity
    measurements
  • Imaging with an integrated, USB connected and
    high-resolution & quality color camera
  • Unaffected performance of the microscope itself

The spot size, the area from which the reflectance or trasnmittance signal is collected is defined by the aperture size and objective lens magnification and can be as small as 2μm.

Applications

  • Univ. & Research labs
  • Semiconductors(Oxides, Nitrides, Si, Resists, etc.)
  • MEMS devices(Photoresists, Si, membranes, etc.)
  • LED
  • Data Storage
  • Anodization
  • Hard/Soft coatings on curved substrates
  • Polymer coatings(adhesives, etc.)
  • Biomedical(parylene, ballon wall thickness, etc.)
  • And more…

Features

  • Single-click analysis (no need for initial guess)

The measurement area (the area from which the reflectance or transmittance signal is collected) is relative to the microscope’s objective lens and the FR-uProbe’s aperture size. Standard apertures sizes are: 500μm, 250μm, 100μm. Apertures with size 150μm and 50μm are also available upon request.
