Medical needles have many uses. Since the needles are directly inserted into a person’s body, it is critical that manufacturers adhere to national and international standards for shape, materials, and ...

The concept of measuring surface roughness originated nearly a century ago as a means to prevent uncertainty and disputes between manufacturers and buyers. Now, it has become a common identifier used ...

Medical implants are devices created to replace, help, or improve a failing biological structure. Often, they are produced as prosthetics to replace missing limbs and body parts. Another common use of ...

New research finds the missing link between soft surface adhesion and the roughness of the hard surface it touches. The key to this foundational discovery is a close look at the rough surface itself ...

Cutoff filter is capable of measuring the wavelength at which the surface structure is differentiated between roughness and waviness data. For precise measurements, it is very important to choose the ...

New research has shed light on how the preparation of carbon nanotubes can impact their surface roughness, and, therefore, their properties and suitability for biomedical applications. Here, we ...

As transistor dimensions within integrated circuits continue to shrink, smooth metallic lines are required to interconnect these devices. If the surfaces of these tiny metal lines aren't smooth enough ...

The SJ-220, Mitutoyo’s latest evolution in its SJ-200 series, aims to ease use with a suite of features designed for on-site measurement efficiency. The SJ-220 portable surface roughness measuring ...
