Anton Paar Announces New Software Product: Tosca™ Analysis for Industrial AFM Users

Graz, Austria & Besançon, France: Following the recent launch of the Tosca™ 400 atomic force microscope, the leading scientific equipment manufacturing company Anton Paar is today announcing the launch of Tosca™ analysis software, based on Digital Surf’s Mountains® surface analysis technology.

Specially designed for industrial users, the Tosca™ 400 comes with ToscaTM Control software for operating the AFM. Add to that new Tosca™ analysis software and users now have a complete solution for complex nano-surface analysis in a wide variety of application areas including characterization of semiconductor properties and investigation of polymer chains.

Main features include:

• Real-time 3D multi-channel imaging with overlays
• Characterization of surface texture using the latest 3D parameters defined in the ISO 25178 standard
• State-of-the-art geometry & morphology analysis at the nanoscale including height of grains and motifs, volume of surface structures (bumps, holes), step heights etc.
• Powerful automation features for demanding applications including critical dimensioning & statistics
• Co-localization of surface data from other analyses for correlative analysis e.g. Raman chemical maps

The interactive workflow allows full metrologicial traceability and easy fine-tuning at any time.

Generating surface analysis reports in Excel, PDF and Word-compatible RTF formats has never been easier.

Additionally, automation tools help speed up production (for example analysis routines can be saved as templates and re-applied to batches.)
