Wishing you a happy 2025 filled with health, prosperity and inspiring discoveries—big and small 🎁🎄

Event

01 March

We are very excited to be exhibiting at the 2025 Pittcon conference taking place from March 1 to 5, in Boston, MA, USA.

Digital Surf has been developing surface imaging & metrology software for profilers and microscopes since 1989

Our main focus is on working as a partner with instrument manufacturers worldwide, in the fields of surface metrology and microscopy. Mountains® software is now offered by the majority of profilometer and microscope manufacturers and is embedded in their equipment or available as an option.

Digital Surf also provides Mountains® software packages directly to instrument users. Mountains® has an installed base of 22,000+ licenses worldwide, is available in 11 languages, supports ISO and national metrology standards and is supplied by 50+ instrument manufacturers.

Application areas include: automotive, materials science, semiconductors, medical, aerospace, MEMS, renewable energy, etc.

Revealing key topographic parameters in surface bacterial adhesion

In the realm of dental implantology, understanding bacterial adhesion mechanisms is essential. Recent research led by Steve Papa and fellow researchers at the Jean Monnet University in Saint-Étienne, France, revealed the intricate relationship between surface topography and bacterial adhesion, with a particular focus on Porphyromonas gingivalis, a bacterium closely associated with dental implant failure.

Is the S-filter equivalent to the old λs filter?

November 20, 2024

Surface texture filtering has evolved with recent standards like ISO 25178 and ISO 21920, which introduced updated terminology. The traditional λs filter removed microroughness from profiles, but new concepts like the S-Filter and L-Filter now play distinct roles. In this article, François Blateyron clarifies the actions of each filter and explains how users can apply them correctly in metrological analysis.
