DemoPSI.visrcp recipe file. Making a VSI Measurement of a Step Vertical Scanning Interferometry (VSI) is a measurement mode developed at Bruker that enables the measurement of samples with a considerable height range. While any surface may be measured with the VSI technique, you may achieve better results on very smooth surfaces with a PSI measurement (see the next section). -

• The effect of imperfections in the super-smooth reference mirror are minimized by averaging multiple locations into the reference surface. • Using multiple locations is more often necessary for higher magnification PSI mea- surements, and generally four locations are sufficient even for the highest accuracy work.

Page 37: Magnification Calibration
The magnifications of all the optics in your ContourGT-K system were calibrated at the factory. Further calibration is only required if you add additional objectives or FOV lenses to your system. If this situation should occur, please refer to the Magnification Calibration section of the “ContourGT- K Installation and Maintenance Manual”.
