LABCOAT Software The ideal software interface for measuring layer thickness of transparent coatings or materials in the range of 0.1 to 80 μm on the basis of white light interference. The program is suitable both for routine analysis and research and for At-line use. User friendliness and high measuring and evaluating speeds are its outstanding features. The system is based on white light interference effects caused by reflection from the top and bottom surfaces of the coating. This results in constructive and destructive interference at various locations in the spectrum. Analysis of this spectral pattern, along with the material’s refractive index, allows the calculation of the coating thickness. Parameter setup Benefits LABCOAT software provides simple yet powerful evaluation of the spectral interference pattern for high performance thickness measurement. • Selectable coating type • Selectable thickness range • Single key stroke measurement • Display of measurement confidence • Statistical analysis • Data compatibility Carl Zeiss Microscopy GmbH 07740 Jena, Germany Optical Sensor Systems Phone: + 49 3641 64 2838 Telefax: + 49 3641 64 2485 E-Mail: [email protected] www.inline-metrology.com Information subject to change.

Control of thickness is a key to good coating performance. The LABCOAT system is based on white light interference effects caused by reflection from the top and bottom surfaces of the coating. This results in constructive and destructive interference at various locations in the spectrum. Analysis of this spectral Laboratory and At-line measurement of transparent coating and film thickness pattern, along with the material’s refractive index, allows the calculation of the coating thickness. An innovative Diode Array spectrometer is at the heart of the system. A flexible fiberoptic probe allows remote handheld operation. The measurement area size can be selected to meet a variety of applications.
