Details
The S neox sensor pushes versatility to the extreme: our 4-in-1 technology, provides unparalleled adaptability for changing application requirements, and maximum measurement flexibility on any surface.


The re-design of some algorithms has increased the speed and capability of all technologies.

The option to add a piezoelectric Z motor makes the S neox our top performer. The S neox sensor also covers thicknesses measurements from 50 nm to 5 mm.


Our equipment has the functionality of finding the best acquisition settings for your measurement: just focus on the surface and S neox will do the rest.
