Concrete, rock and core samples all have an important characteristic in common, their surface roughness and or topography can play a vital role in applied use and or an explanation to fracture and interaction. For example, concrete surface roughness can play a crucial role in the bonding to applied substrates, during geologic studies a rock surface can provide answers to important fault shifts and the study of core sample surfaces can provide clues to fluid mechanics. Many of these measurements require portable instrumentation
In this application note, the Nanovea HS1000 (we have shown the newer HS2000 below) is used to measure two different types of solar material (photovoltaic material and glass) and calculate their respective surface roughness, surface features and wafer bow. The shape of trace lines on the photovoltaic material will also be measured. With a maximum stage speed of 1 meter per second, the HS1000, unlike stylus profilometers, can easily handle high production throughput applications, where many measurements are needed in quick fashion.

Nanoindentation has become a widely applied technique for measuring mechanical behaviours of materials at small scales. The high-resolution load-displacement curves from the nanoindentation measurement can provide a variety of physicomechanical properties including hardness, Young's modulus, creeping, fracture toughness and many others.
One significant bottleneck for further popularisation of the nanoindentation technique is time consumption. A mechanical property mapping by conventional nanoindentation procedure can easily take hours so this hinders the application of the technique in the mass production industries, such as semiconductor, aerospace, MEMS and many others.
Drywall texture and roughness is critical in the final products quality and appearance. A better understanding of the effect of surface texture and consistency on the moisture resistance of the coated drywall allows selecting the finest product and optimizing the painting technique to obtain the best result. Quantifiable, fast and reliable surface inspection of the coating surface is in need for quantitative evaluation of the surface quality. The Nanovea 3D Non-Contact Profilometers utilizes chromatic confocal technology with unique capability to precisely measure the sample surface. The line-sensor technique can finish scanning a large drywall surface in minutes..
