What is Digital Holographic Microscopy (DHM)?

Digital Holographic Microscopy (DHM) is a patented imaging technology that reconstructs quantitative 3D surface topography from a single hologram without mechanical scanning. With fast, full-field acquisition and interferometric vertical resolution, DHM enables real-time measurement of both static and dynamic surface behavior.

Why Digital Holographic Microscopy for Surface Metrology?

Digital Holographic Microscopy enables fast, non-contact 3D surface measurements without mechanical scanning. By capturing the entire field of view in a single acquisition, DHM provides quantitative surface topography and enables real-time analysis of both static and dynamic surface behavior.

Key Benefits for Surface Metrology

  • Non-contact measurement – Characterize surfaces without physically interacting with the sample.
  • Fast, full-field acquisition – Capture the entire field of view simultaneously without mechanical scanning.
  • Quantitative 3D topography – Measure surface height, shape, and texture with high precision.
  • Dynamic measurements – Track deformation, vibration, and time-dependent surface behavior.
  • High repeatability – Achieve robust and reliable measurements, even for fast-changing samples.
  • Versatile applications – Support MEMS, semiconductors, photonics, and industrial surface metrology.
