What it is

The NewView 8000 is a non-contact 3D optical surface profiler from Zygo.[3][2][1]

The NewView 8000 is used for quantitative surface characterization in optical metrology.[3][2]

How it works

The NewView 8000 uses Zygo coherence scanning interferometry to measure surface topography without contact.[3]

The NewView 8000 uses Mx software for instrument control, data analysis, interactive 3D and 2D visualization, and built-in SPC functions.[3][2][1]

The NewView 8000 supports manual, motorized, and encoded stage options, and the system can be configured with single zoom or three-position zoom optics.[2][1]

Applications

The NewView 8000 measures smooth, rough, flat, sloped, and stepped surfaces.[3]

The NewView 8000 measures surface roughness, step heights, critical dimensions, topography, volumetric features, and texture.[3][2][1]
