UPA Technology Inc. released Version 3 of the Microderm CMS, a portable, handheld beta backscatter instrument that features user-friendly, menu-driven software with a large, easy-to-read color display. According to the company, Version 3 offers improved battery life, faster system boot-up and built-in charging with a smaller, ergonomic case.
The Microderm CMS is used for measuring precious metal coatings primarily in the electroplating and electronics industries, as well as many thin film coatings such as oil films and dry lubricants, adhesives, anodizing, hard coatings on machine tools, diamond-like carbon (DLC) and many others.
“Version 3 of the CMS makes a number of changes that improve usability of the instrument that has been a staple of the UPA product line for years,” says Mike Justice, UPA Technology president.
