The PLu Neox 3D Optical Profiler (from Sensofar) has a dual-technology sensor head that combines confocal and interferometry techniques as well as thick and thin film measurement capabilities.
The Profilm3D optical profiler fra Filmetrics use white-light-interferometry (WLI) and phase-shifting-interferometry (PSI) to produce surface profiles and depth-of-field color images.


The Neox sensor head provides standard microscope imaging, confocal imaging, confocal profiling, PSI (Phase Shift Interferometry), VSI (Vertical Scanning Interferometry) and high resolution thin film thickness measurements on a single instrument.
The main purpose is 3D topographic imaging of surfaces, step height measurements and roughness measurements with larger FOV (Field Of View) than the AFM, but less horisontal resolution.
 
The main purpose is 3D topographic imaging of surfaces, step height measurements in smaller trenches/holes than can be obtained with standard stylus methods (i.e. with aspect ratios higher that 1:1), roughness measurements with larger FOV (Field Of View) than the AFM, but less horisontal resolution.


For most samples the optical profiler provides fast and easy information without any sample preparation. However, it can be necessary to cover thin transparent layers (< 2 µm) with a thin layer of metal.

The resolution is limited by the objectives and the pixel resolution. Also the depth of focus is limited, especially for higher magnifications.
