Measurement tasks

What do you want to measure? Find the direct entry via your measurement task – independent of product or application.

Not every measurement task starts with a clearly defined measurement technology or a specific measurement system. Often, only the physical or derived quantity to be measured is known.

The entry via measurement tasks guides you directly to suitable measurement principles and optical metrology solutions – from fundamental physical quantities to complex material and object characteristics. Select your measurement task to discover appropriate solution approaches.
