Before 2023 comes to an end we want to go on record with three things that we guarantee will happen in 2024.
(Guarantee not valid anywhere, anytime, and/or any place. Void everywhere.)

In this video, one of Zygo’s applications engineers provides a demonstration of the ZeGageTM 3D optical surface profiler as it measures the roughness of the surface of a sealing valve used in the automotive industry. That might sounds fairly unremarkable, but check out how the system does on a rickety plastic table in a machine shop full of noise and vibration.
