Manufacturer
Filmetrics
Filmetrics was founded in 1995 with the mission of making thin-film measurements simple and affordable. Our approach, borne of the microelectronics and software revolution, results in film-thickness measurements that take less than a second - by operators who can be trained in minutes.
Measurement Technology Ahead of the Curve
With the F10-Arc, Filmetrics’ makes measuring lens and curved surfaces easy, including anti-reflection coatings. The F10-Arc can provide precise measurements for reflectance, colour, and film thickness in seconds. The system is simple to set up and use, requiring no complex training, and is highly robust and reliable. The F10-Arc has been designed to minimise downtime, requiring little integration time or baselining. A 40,000-hour life light source, and automatic wavelength calibration minimise the need for maintenance. With each Filmetrics tool, a comprehensive support package, including online assistance, is also included. The F10-Arc features a wavelength range of 380-1050nm. For film thickness, a thickness range of 200nm - 15μm is supported.
Software Designed for Ease of Use
Filmetrics makes reflectance measurement easy and straightforward with the FILMeasure software package. With only minimal training, users can quickly acquire accurate and reliable measurements. Measurement criteria can be pre-programmed for colour and maximum, minimum, and average reflectance over any combination of wavelength ranges. FILMeasure can be used standalone for analysis purposes.
A fully comprehensive support package is also included, with online support and diagnostics available 24 hours.

Industry
Hard Coatings Thickness Measurement
Filmetrics systems, software and applications knowledge are used widely in the automotive and aviation industry to measure hardcoat film thicknesses.
The F10-Arc measures anti-reflection coatings for anti-fog applications in automotive headlamp-assembly manufacturing, with free trial polycarbonate hard coat and other measurements available upon request.
Ophthalmic Coatings Measurement
The Filmetrics® F10-ARc anti-reflection coating thickness instrument was designed especially for ophthalmic applications and offers several proprietary features for characterizing AR coatings. It’s easy to measure curved surfaces with anti-reflection coatings on eyeglasses and other optical lenses.
Hardcoat applications on lenses, up to 15 microns thick, can be measured using the Filmetrics F10-ARc with a hardcoat measurement upgrade.
