What is "mountainsmap"

MountainsMap is a surface imaging and metrology software published by the company Digital Surf. Its main application is micro-topography, the science of studying surface texture and form in 3D at the microscopic scale. The software is used mainly with stylus-based or optical profilometers, optical microscopes and scanning probe microscopes.

Since version 7.0, MountainsMap includes a version dedicated to scanning electron microscopes, with 3D reconstruction, and one to hyperspectral microscopes and cameras ( Raman, FT-IR, EELS, EDX hyperspectral cube analysis).

MountainsMap is mainly offered as embedded or optional OEM analysis software by most profilometer and microscope manufacturers, usually under their respective brands; it is sold for instance as:

• TalyMap, TalyProfile, or TalyMap Contour on Taylor-Hobson's profilometers,
• PicoImage on Agilent's AFM's,
• HommelMap on Jenoptik's profilometers (Hommel-Etamic line of products),
• MountainsMap - X on Nikon's microscopes,
• Apex 2D or Apex 3D on KLA-Tencor's profilometers,
• Leica Map on Leica's microscopes,
• ConfoMap on Carl Zeiss' microscopes,
• MCubeMap on Mitutoyo profilometers.
• Vision 64 Map on Bruker optical profilometers

MountainsMap is available in English, Brazilian Portuguese, simplified Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish and Spanish.
