• Maximum sample size: 158 mm diameter
• Maximum sample thickness: 21 mm
• Maximum profile length: 10 mm in the right direction, 2 mm in the left direction
• Maximum step height: 2 mm or 2000 µm (for stepping down conditions only)
• Scan speed: 2 µm/s to 200 µm/s
• Optical magnification: 70 x – 210 x (standard)
• Horizontal resolution: 0.01 µm (100 Å) at 2 µm/s scan speed
• Vertical range and resolution:
