New ContourGT-K Delivers Uncompromised Bench-Top 3D Optical Microscopy Performance

TUCSON, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 5, 2013-- Bruker today announced the launch of the new, scalableContourGT-K3D optical microscope for value-oriented, uncompromised bench-top metrology.Incorporating many of the advanced features of Bruker's flagship optical metrology products, theContourGT-Kdelivers unsurpassed Z-axis resolution across all fields of view and superior 2D/3D imaging capability for non-contact profile, roughness and thickness measurements on a wide range of surfaces. The system's gage-capable, streamlined design includes integrated air isolation for robust vibration tolerance in even challenging production environments. The newContourGT-Kalso incorporates the latest version BrukerVision64™software and the most extensive library of pre-programmed filters and analyses for easy access to advanced measurements for LED, solar cell, thick films, semiconductor, ophthalmic, medical device, MEMS and tribology applications.

"Bruker has drawn on three decades of optical measurement experience and innovation to deliver a true metrology system at price points previously only attainable with traditional confocal imaging systems," said Rob Loiterman, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Bruker's Stylus and Optical Metrology Business. "WithContourGT-K, researchers and engineers no longer have to choose between great images and quantifiable metrology."

"Cost-optimized for high speed, accuracy, and ease of use, theContourGT-Kdelivers the precision required for demanding metrology over a very broad range of surfaces," added Kent Heath, Senior Director of Bruker's Stylus and Optical Metrology Business. "It features an extensive array of factory and field upgradeable add-ons, such as application-specific productivity software, automated turret, stages and tilt functions, color and high-resolution camera options, and our uniqueNanoLens™AFM module, which together make theContourGT-Khighly scalable to meet evolving customer needs."
