Digital Instruments Inc. and Zygo Corp. have called off their planned merger after weeks of stalled negotiations. The companies decided to terminate the letter of intent signed by both parties after efforts to bridge differences proved futile in recent weeks.

Digital, located in Santa Barbara, Calif., manufactures high-precision measurement products and systems that use scanning probe microscopy imaging and metrology technology. Zygo, based in Middlefield, Conn., designs and manufactures interferometric and confocal measurement technology.
