Industrial use cases for optical nanometrology
IotaMetrix helps industrial and R&D teams inspect surfaces, transparent materials and precision components without contact, vacuum, or complex sample preparation.
Inspect high-value components without contact or complex preparation.
Structured stainless-steel sample: IotaMetrix optical nanometrology reveals finer surface details than conventional optical microscopy.
IotaMetrix reveals nanoscale defects and surface structures on polished, textured and functionalized precision components, supporting quality control and process validation.
Precision manufacturing & watchmaking
Typical use cases:
Surface finishing inspection · Micro-scratches and defects · Precision mechanical components · High-value watchmaking components
Inspect inside transparent materials without cutting or damaging the sample.
Confocal optical sectioning enables surface and volume inspection in transparent samples.
IotaMetrix uses confocal optical imaging to inspect surfaces and volumes in transparent materials. This enables non-destructive observation of internal structures, interfaces and defects without cutting or damaging the sample.
Transparent materials & volume inspection
Typical use cases:
Transparent materials · Optical fibers · Glass components · Micro-optics · Internal defects · Embedded structures · Volume inspection
Reconstruct surface morphology across multiple materials.
Example of 3D surface reconstruction on a structured material sample.
IotaMetrix provides high-resolution optical information to reconstruct surface morphology on metals, ceramics, polymers and structured materials. This helps industrial and R&D teams visualize surface features, detect defects and compare treatments without contact or complex preparation.
3D surface reconstruction for advanced materials
Typical use cases:
Metals · Ceramics · Polymers · Structured surfaces · Surface roughness features · Laser-textured materials · Coatings · Process validation
Reveal stress-related features beyond intensity imaging.
Polarimetric nanometrology reveals stress-related contrasts beyond conventional intensity imaging.
IotaMetrix is developing a unique polarimetric nanometrology module to reveal stress-related optical contrasts that may remain hidden in conventional intensity imaging. This approach can help industrial and R&D teams observe mechanical stress, localized stress points and anisotropic features in advanced materials and structured surfaces.
Polarimetric nanometrology for advanced material analysis
Typical use cases:
Mechanical stress observation · Localized stress points · Anisotropic structures · Transparent materials · Functional surfaces · Defect-sensitive zones
