Product overview Imaging Ellipsometer

Imaging Ellipsometry overcomes the limits of classical ellipsometers by determing film thickness and optical properties by combining nulling ellipsometry with microscopy. You receive ellipsometric high contrast images from the surface with highest lateral resolution down to 1µm. Spectroscopic ellipsometry enables you studying complex materials like polymer surfaces, graphene, monolayer, biosensors, proteins, colloids and many more.

Ellipsometry is a well-known non-destructive optical method for determing film thickness and optical properties like refrective index by measuring delta and psi. Imaging Ellipsometry combines the power of ellipsometry with microscopy and overcomes the limits of classical ellipsometers.

The Nanofilm Imaging Ellipsometers enable you to study the surface in three steps: 

generating high contrast image from the surface
ellipsometry with highest lateral resolution (1µm)
generating of 3D thickness maps

Single Wavelength and Spectroscopic Imaging Ellipsometers are very versatile and can be used for many different applications:
polymer surfaces, graphene, monolayer, Langmuir Blodgett films, biosensors, membranes, proteins, colloids, plastic solar cells, organic sensors, functional surfaces (like data storage OLED’s, LED’s, LC), MEMS, biochips, microcontact printing, semiconductor, photoresist layers, lipid bilayer, functional coatings on cantilever, … and many more.
