The Complete Optical Metrology Reference Manual: Areal Surface Texture, ISO 25178, and Non-Contact Measurement for Zero-, (Paperback)

<b>You have the instrument. You still cannot say which surface parameter explains why those parts failed in the field.</b> This reference manual closes that gap. <p>The optical instruments got faster and the software got deeper, but the distance between a colored topography map and a quality decision you can defend never closed. That distance is what this book removes. </p><p>It is not a catalogue of specifications. It is a working path from the measurement question to the answer that holds up. You get the physics of light and surfaces, the full <b>areal surface texture</b> framework under <b>ISO 25178</b>, and <b>measurement uncertainty</b> budgets you can defend in an audit. </p><p>Every major <b>non-contact measurement</b> technology is treated honestly: confocal and chromatic confocal sensing, coherence scanning interferometry, focus variation, structured light, deflectometry, and digital holography. Where each one earns its place, and where it quietly fails you. </p><p>The later chapters put the methods to work on real components across automotive, aerospace, semiconductor, additive, and medical device manufacturing, then move into filtering, machine learning classification, and in-line, closed-loop <b>production integration</b>. </p><p>This is the book you reach for when a difficult surface challenges your definition of quality, and you need an answer that holds up. </p><p><b>Open it to the technique you are fighting with today, and put the data to work before the next batch ships.</b></p>
