PRODUCT DETAILS

2D Birefringence Measurement System

WPA-200Series

WPA series that expands the measurement range of phase difference from 0 to 3,500 nm by measuring the distribution of birefringence/phase difference over three waves.
Suitable for measurement of films and transparent resin products.
Ranging from microscopic to macroscopic (～50cm), the field of view adapts to any measurement situation, and there is a system for each size.

MORE

PA-300Series

PA series measures birefringence and phase difference with high resolution of 5 million pixels at high speed, for low phase difference with a measurement range of 0 to 130 nm.
Suitable for measurement of glassware and other low phase difference targets.

MORE

WPA-300Series

The WPA-300 series provides sharper measurement by increasing the resolution of the polarization image sensor up to 5 times, while maintaining the large phase difference measurement performance of the WPA-200 series.
