Applications

In research and development as well as in numerous industrial fields, our high-precision measuring systems are indispensable today. Our measurement technology is used, for example, 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 as different are the suitable solutions.

On these pages you will find:

Examples of applications and fields of use for our measurement technology and measurement systems,
information on solutions for a wide variety of measurement tasks,
scientific articles from technical journals,
interesting publications from the press.
