Stylus profilometers
use a probe to detect the surface, physically moving a probe along the surface in order to
acquire the surface height. This is done mechanically with a feedback loop that monitors the
force from the sample pushing up against the probe as it scans along the surface. A feedback
system is used to keep the arm with a specific amount of torque on it, known as the
‘setpoint’. The changes in the Z position of the arm holder can then be used to reconstruct
the surface. The DektakXT system takes measurements electromechanically by moving a diamond
–tipped stylus over the sample surface according to user-programmed scan length, speed and
stylus force.
Because a stylus profilometer involves physical movements in X, Y, and Z while
maintaining contact with the surface, it is slower than non-contact techniques. The stylus
tip size and shape can influence the measurements and limit the lateral resolution.
