ScienceGL
has developed several unique 3D interactive measurement tools for detailed
studies of the surface topography. The tools permit you to conduct line
and areal (usually referred as one dimensional (1D) and two dimensional
(2D), respectively) analyses. Interactive measuring tools combined with
3D visualization and real time angle rotations provide the new lave of
surface analysis.
With example images below we demonstrate some features of the operation
with our advanced 3D tools.
The height of the features is exaggerated for better perception of the fine structures.

Depth / Area / Volume imteractive tools ate available for exact measurement of geometrical quantities. Read out with interactive semitransparent cube is presented in the image above. The cube is adjustable to the features of the interest. Volume and area measurement results are returned. Important surface characterization parameters such as 2D and 1D intersection roughness and waveness are optically returned.

tools:
- Volume Measuring Cube
- Arbitrary located intersection read out tool
- Point of interest markers (measuring pins)
The tools return distances, areas, volumes and other geometrical quantities
related data.

tools: Volume Cube, Measuring pins and arbitrary cut intersection tool.
The tools are freely moved in 3D space with mouse in most intuitive manner:
Mouse click and move real time mode. The results of the measurements such
as distances, mouse XYZ position, Pin XYZ position, 1D cut (intersection
plot) are returned for detailed analyses.

The intersection 1D plot is returned immediately as the planes are moved with mouse drag operation.
