VICTOR, NEW YORK April 16, 2019 – Bristol Instruments, Inc. is pleased to announce the addition of the model 157LS Optical Thickness Gauge to its line of interferometer-based precision instruments. This latest model has the ability to measure material thickness as large as 40 mm, while maintaining industry leading accuracy of ± 0.1 μm and repeatability of ± 0.02 μm.
The 157LS system uses the unique properties of light to measure material thickness without damage or deformation. Up to 31 individual layers, as well as total thickness, can be measured simultaneously.
“The new model 157LS extends our precise thickness measurement capability to applications such as multi-element lens assemblies and thicker optical components,” said Don Jarvie, Business Development Manager for Bristol’s Optical Metrology products. “Now, more customers will be able to take advantage of the accuracy, repeatability, and reliability guaranteed by Bristol Instruments.”
