FICTS-1420-14-09 3. Optical profilometer
3D Optical Surface Metrology System Leica DCM8
This equipment allows measuring the roughness of a multitude of samples by means of a non-destructive optical method. Based on the operation of a confocal microscope, it allows the creation of high-resolution 3D images in a fast and automatic way as well as obtaining color images thanks to the use of three LEDs: Red, Green and Blue. In addition, this system also works as an interferometer that allows to measure the roughness with greater precision of mirror polished samples.

DROP SHAPE ANALYZER – DSA100E
The system measures the contact angle between a liquid and a solid. Offers the possibility of measuring static, advancing and receding contact angle, as well as contact angle hysteresis by a tilting table. Also, measurement of surface tension and liquid-liquid interfacial tension using the Pendant Drop method can be obtained. Thanks to tempering and humidity chambers, this equipment can realistically reproduce individual process conditions, by making measurements under controlled humidity and temperature from 5 to 90 °C.
U12-E22. SEM Hitachi TM4000Plus II for morphological and dimensional characterization of solid samples Description: Low vacuum Scanning Electron Microscopy with two electron detectors (secondary, SE, and backscattered, BSE). SE imaging provides a detailed information of the morphology of the sample and BSE gives information about the different components of the sample, based on the different atomic number (the higher the atomic number, the brighter the surface). Appropriate vacuum levels are reached using a turbo molecular pump and electron beams are directed to sample specimens with accelerating voltages between 5 and 20 kV, which allow magnifications from 10x to 100,000x. Specimens with size up to 80 mm diameter and/or 50 mm thickness can be observed. Conductive and non-conductive samples can be characterized with little or no previous preparation. The software enables image processing of micrographs, for measuring the size of solid particles after the acquisition of images. Applications: Topographical and morphological characterization of tissues, hairs, fibers, etc. Quality control and failure analysis. Morphological properties are quite important in the research of innovative materials. In addition, the characterization of the surface is a key factor in porous materials used for delivery systems. Semiconductor inspection and microchip assembly, to analyse the topography and to investigate the effectiveness of production methods.
