Thickness Analysis Module

Perform interactive global or localized thickness analysis based on surface or profile pairs.

Align surface or profile pairs – create a “thickness pair” by aligning any two surfaces or profiles using manual or semi-automated alignment tools. Adjust the lower layer to match the position and orientation of the upper layer—enabling accurate thickness measurement regardless of the microscope or profiler used.

Support for optical and confocal microscopy data – handle multilayer scans from optical or confocal microscopes, allowing observation through transparent or semi-transparent materials such as coatings.

Interactive thickness analysis – measure thickness dynamically between upper and lower layers.

Generate global thickness statistics – compute comprehensive thickness parameters including mean, minimum, maximum, standard deviation, skewness, kurtosis, and more.

Calculate localized parameters – assess thickness at a specific point, along a line, or within defined zones.

Tolerance-based evaluation – set minimum and maximum thickness limits to easily pinpoint areas out of specification—especially useful for applications requiring uniform thickness such as varnishing, coatings, coin minting, security printing, or membrane sealing.

3D thickness visualization – create visually rich 3D renderings of thickness distribution.

Cross-sectional analysis – extract two-profile 2D cross-sections of membranes for interactive measurement and comparison.
