(Nanovea: Irvine, CA) -- The Nanovea Jr25, a 3-D noncontact portable profilometer, is the first truly portable, high-performance profilometer of its kind. With an optional battery pack and carrying case, the Jr25 provides measurement capability rarely available during field study. The Jr25 uses leading-edge optical pens that offer white-light axial chromatism measurement. Nano through macro range can be obtained during measurement on a wider range of geometries and materials than any other profilometer, with the added benefit of true portable capability.

With a total weight less than 5.5 kg, the Jr25 can be safely placed on the surface under inspection. The Jr25 can measure an area up to 25 mm × 25 mm, and depending on the optical pen, a depth up to 27 mm and resolution down to 5 nm. Focusing of the surface is achieved manually with a smooth touch micrometer and 30 mm travel range. Surfaces of almost any type can be measured regardless of how reflective, opaque, or diffusive the material is. With a fully rotational, single-axis head, the Jr25 has the ability to measure surfaces at difficult angles. It's designed specifically for open filed studies and production environments where samples cannot be moved.
