Technical data of the KF3 confocal sensor
  Principle of Operation Determination of the maximum light density on the sample's surface, using an oscillating object lens. After each semi-period of the oscillation, the profile value is available. Arbitrary profile steps in the measurement range are reproduced within 5ms. Measurement results are independent of the measurement direction.

  Sensor size 122x70x27 mm
  Measurement range 1000 µm
  Resolution 20 nm
  Straightness deviation Below 1.0 µm over the measurement range of 1000 µm
  Reproducibility Standard deviation <= 15 nm (50 measurements on a step standard of 504 µm)
  Stand-off 4 mm
  Laser source 670 nm semiconductor laser diode.
