Surface metrology

Surface metrology is the science of measuring and analyzing the tiny textures and patterns on a material's surface. It helps us understand how smooth, rough, or patterned a surface is, which can affect things like friction, wear, and how well parts fit together. Using specialized tools like microscopes and sensors, surface metrology captures detailed data about surface features. This information ensures products meet quality standards, function properly, and last longer—critical in industries like manufacturing, aerospace, and electronics.
