Metrology System Implementation

!%QED Technologies%! of Rochester, N.Y., an exclusive provider of magnetorheological finishing and subaperture stitching interferometry, has announced implementation of one of its aspheric stitching interferometers at Leibniz Institute for Surface Modification (IOM) in Leipzig, Germany. The new interferometer will enable IOM to develop surface figuring and finishing steps that produce surfaces with accuracies in the nanometer range. The instrument will be used specifically for precision fabrication and measurement of aspheres.
