Applications

In research and development as well as in numerous industrial fields, our high-precision measuring systems have become indispensable. For example, our measurement technology is used in calibration, mechanical engineering, the optics and semiconductor industry, medical technology, nanometrology and geoscience. However, as diverse as the fields of application are, as different are their requirements and the suitable solutions for those requirements.
