A masterpiece can last for centuries—yet suffer serious damage during a single transport. Famous artworks travel the world to inspire people. But the journey itself can pose real risks.

During transport, vibrations act on the canvas and layers of paint for hours. Even the smallest oscillations can stress delicate structures—especially in priceless masterpieces like the paintings of Georgia O’Keeffe.

That is why conservators and researchers carefully study how artworks respond to these stresses.

Laser Doppler Vibrometers from Polytec make even the smallest movements visible—non-contact and with extreme precision. This allows experts to identify critical resonances and optimize transport solutions before a work of art begins its journey—helping ensure it arrives safely.

Because culture is one of a kind—measure what matters.

Measuring larger surfaces automatically—without moving to a large metrology system.

Polytec expands the TopMap Micro.View family with a new motorized XY positioning unit and tilt-and-tip platform—bringing automated surface and roughness measurement to a compact benchtop profiler.

Engineers can now measure roughness, texture, and microstructures across larger areas with high precision and minimal operator effort.

What makes the new system powerful:
• 100 mm motorized X-Y travel for automated area measurements
• True Stitching for reliable results beyond the field of view
• Smart automation features like Focus Finder, Focus Tracker, and automatic centering
• Objectives from 2.5X to 111X
• A unique 0.6X objective enabling large-area topography measurements up to 15.53 × 11.71 mm²

Ideal for fast inspection of larger precision components, 4″ wafers, microsystem arrays, and tray or multi-sample measurements.

Automate measurements. Inspect larger areas. Keep the footprint small.
