Exicor® AT Series
Exicor® AT Series
The AT Series is the original member of the Exicor birefringence measurement system family of products. It also includes the workhorse model, serving both R&D and production requirements.
Benefits of the Exicor® AT
- The standard high speed scanning package, Scan in Motion™ or SIM, makes high spatial resolution scans (<1 mm grid spacing) practical.
- Unprecedented sensitivity in low-level birefringence measurement
- Simultaneous measurement of birefringence magnitude and angle
- Precision repeatability
- High-speed measurement
- Automatic mapping of variable-sized optical elements
Intuitive Operation
Simple, user-friendly operation guided by software. Become more efficient with your testing, data gathering, and information analysis.
No Moving Optics
Increased consistency during measuring because you’re not constantly having to readjust stage, materials, or other variables.
Small Applications
Ideal for use on plastic films, lens blanks, laser crystals, cell phone display windows, and other intricate materials.
