Performance, Value, and Versatility

Flexibility is the hallmark of ZYGO’s NewView products. The NewView 9000 profiler offers

exceptional value with applications as varied as flatness, roughness and waviness, thin films,

step heights and more.

All NewView 9000 profilers are equipped with a triple-zoom turret which can be populated

with discrete zoom optics tailor made for the system. Sample staging configurations range

from completely manual to fully automated with encoded travel.

Regardless of your configuration, all NewView 9000 systems offer high-accuracy measurements,

ease of use, and fast measurements, all at an attractive price point that make it the ideal choice

for versatility and value in 3D optical profilers.

Some of the differentiated features targeted at making users’ metrology better, faster, and more reliable:

• Large-area 1.9 MP sensor with high sensitivity lets you see more in a single measurement

• High-speed measurements take only seconds for improved productivity and process control

• Automated part focus and setup minimizes operator variability and training while reducing the

time to data

• Gage-capable performance through exceptional precision and repeatability for the most demanding

production applications.

• Vibration robust metrology with SureScan technology and available built-in isolation enables high

quality metrology even in vibration-prone environments

• SmartPSI™ technology for ultra-fast profiling of ultra-smooth surfaces

• 2D and 3D correlation provides confidence in your measurements with results that comply to ISO

25178 and ISO 4287 standards.

• Mx™ software for instrument control, analysis, and measurement automation

The NewView™ 9000 3D optical surface profiler provides powerful versatility in non-contact

optical surface profiling. With the system, it is easy and fast to measure a wide range of 

surface types, including smooth, rough, flat, sloped, and stepped. All measurements are

nondestructive, fast, and require no sample preparation.

At the core of the system is ZYGO’s Coherence Scanning Interferometry (CSI) technology

which delivers sub-nanometer precision at all magnifications, and measures a wider range

of surfaces faster and more precisely than other commercially-available technologies,

thus optimizing your return on investment.

Flexible Configurations

NewView 9000 Stage & Work AreaThe NewView 9000 profiler features an open work area, with

clear lines of sight, to help make measurement setups and changeovers simple and quick.

Systems can be equipped with a variety of sample staging that range from fully manual X/Y and

tilt stages, to fully automated stages with 150 mm of travel and 4 degrees of tilt. With the integrated

isolation system and compact size, it is well suited for benchtop installations; using the optional stand

and workstation make an ideal production-style system.

The Only Profiler You Need

You no longer have to select a profiler based on the type of surface you want to measure.

The Nexview™ NX2 profiler measures topography of virtually any surface from a super

polished optical surface with sub-Angstrom surface roughness, to steep machined angles up

to 85 degrees. It does all this in 3D, without contact, and provides the best qualities of other

profiling technologies (stylus, confocal, focus scanning) without their shortcomings.

Additional application modules for specific needs, such as measurement in the presence of 

transparent films, and 2D vision analysis, are available for customers that require these capabilities.

Automated Operation

The Nexview™ NX2 profiler is a fly-by-wire tool with no manual controls, so it can be fully

automated with programmed sequences to measure multiple areas of a surface, multiple parts

in a tray, or larger surfaces by stitching together multiple measurements into a single measurement.

Clean, Streamlined, Design

The Nexview NX2 profiler features a large work area with clear lines of sight to help make

measurement setups and changeovers simple and quick.

Its automated 200 mm integrated measurement stage is the epitome of clean and efficient

industrial design. It features an embedded ±4 degree high load tilt stage with parcentric correction

– which makes aligning the measurement surface simple, even for featureless samples.

Nexview™ NX2 3D Optical Profiler

Designed for the most demanding applications, the Nexview™ NX2 3D optical profiler

combines exceptional precision, advanced algorithms, application flexibility,

and automation into a single package that represents ZYGO’s most advanced

Coherence Scanning Interferometric (CSI) profiler.

The completely non-contact technology optimizes the return on investment by delivering

sub-nanometer precision at all magnifications and measuring a wider range of surfaces

faster and more precisely than other comparable technologies commercially available.

With applications as varied as flatness, roughness and waviness, thin films, step heights

and more on virtually any surface and material, Nexview NX2 truly is the no-compromise

profiler.

As the latest generation flagship, Nexview™ NX2 provides a wide range of differentiated

features targeted at making users’ metrology better, faster, and more reliable:

• Large-area 1.9 MP sensor with high sensitivity lets you see more in a single measurement

• High-speed measurements take only seconds for improved productivity and process control

• Automated part focus and setup minimizes operator variability and training while reducing
