Microtechnology: a New Platform for 3d Structural Metrology

Hyphenated Systems offers the 3Dmap? (Microfluidics Analysis Platform) ? a new platform that provides 3D structural metrology for developers and manufacturers of microfluidic devices. The high-resolution measurements of size and shape provided by 3Dmap are essential in all phases of microfludics development, from understanding fundamental physical phenomena through developing novel devices and controlling fabrication processes.

3Dmap is unique in its ability to provide fast, accurate sub-micron structural characterization of all aspects of microfluidic devices; including steep slopes, rough surfaces, and subsurface features in transparent media, that are not measurable with alternative techniques. The system's inverted optics and open architecture are designed to facilitate the integration of additional analytical techniques, such as flow measurement, live cell imaging, fluorescent bead characterization, surface roughness analysis, and more ? all on a single platform.
