Contour Elite 3D Optical Microscopes Trusted Metrology, High-Fidelity Imaging, Clearest Results Innovation with Integrity Optical & Stylus Metrology

Outstanding 3D Optical Metrology or High-Resolution Imaging? Now You Can Have Both. Until now, researchers, metrologists, and engineers often have had to choose between accurate metrology and visually compelling imaging-based measurements. You no longer have to make that choice. Bruker’s Contour Elite™ 3D optical microscopes combine the ContourGT® platform’s proven, industryleading metrology and Vision64® analysis software with exceptional new highfidelity imaging capabilities. Contour Elite delivers the highspeed operation, accuracy, and repeatability that toplevel R&D and production requires,...

Reliable Measurement Data Enhanced by High-Fidelity Imaging Many industries manufacture products that have critical performance requirements, where it is absolutely essential that the products are exactly right every time. In the medical industries, such products include medical implants, such as intraocular lenses, hip or knee replacement joints, and heart stents. Similarly, the automotive and aerospace industries demand the highest performing parts and assemblies to ensure safety or mission success. Bruker’s surface characterization systems are the instruments of choice in industries such as...

Simple and Intuitive Operation for Exceptional Ease of Use Contour Elite’s streamlined user interface maximizes user efficiency and simplifies measurements and analyses. Contour Elite is not only simple to use, it is also the most comprehensive and fully featured 3D surface metrology platform available today. Intuitive, User-Friendly Interface for Simplified Characterization and Analysis The Vision64 Measurement Setup window has an easy “pull-down” menu to select measurement type and magnification. The stage is easily positioned using the Instrument Control window or joystick, and the new Easy...

High-Fidelity Imaging to See What You Measure Equally critical to collecting accurate data is communicating the findings. The addition of high-fidelity grayscale and color imaging, with exclusive side illumination and advanced algorithms, gives Contour Elite users access to additional perspectives not possible on systems that provide metrology alone, as well as the capability to provide recognizable surface feature details for reporting. True Color Imaging, Color Segmentation, and Metrology Seamlessly Combined Combining high-end metrology with the ability to see, recognize, and display what was...

Faster Solutions to Complex Research and Production Challenges Contour Elite 3D optical microscopes feature an intuitive visual workflow, extensive usercustomization features, automated functions, highly accurate measurement capabilities, and high-fidelity imaging to provide the fastest, most comprehensive data collection and analysis available for a vast range of research and production applications. Built on three decades of proprietary Wyko® white light interferometric (WLI) hardware and software technology innovation, Contour Elite systems deliver industry-leading surface characterization,...

Flexible Staging and Fixturing to Fit Your Application The Contour Elite microscopes are available with an automated 150-millimeter (6-inch) stage or a 300-millimeter (12-inch) stage. For cylindrical samples there is also an option for a roller stage that can be used to rotate the parts to acquire surface data—either at specific sites or by utilizing cylindrical stitching. A tip/tilt cradle angles the optics, not the sample, so the sample always stays in focus and within the measurement field of view. An optional motorized turret is available that accommodates up to five objectives, with magnification...
