Our product range
Solid diamond
For the hardest measurement tasks
Our ZEISS Diamond!Scan is a stylus with a sphere made of solid diamond. It is highly durable and does not get worn out even when exposed to hard materials. You can count on the solid diamond stylus even at single point probing with heavily concentrated load. In short: we strongly advise our solid diamond styli for the hardest measurement tasks. They are available with the diameters DK 1, DK 2 and DK 3.
Diamond-coated styli
Measurement without material build-up
Diamond-coated styli are composed of a ceramic sphere coated with diamond. They are especially suitable for scanning soft materials. This ensures that no material from the workpiece is deposited on the sphere. Another advantage is that coated styli have higher levels of roundness with less than 150 nm and are consequently more precise at a significantly lower price. These styli are available with the diameters DK 1.05; DK 2.05; DK 3.05; DK 5.05 or DK 8.05.
Monolithic styli
Seamless styli with diamond coating
ZEISS Diamond!Scan mono is a monolithic stylus with diamond coating. This means that the sphere and stylus are produced from one piece. This solution has several advantages: They can be produced with every diameter and every technically feasible length. Moreover, there is no risk that the sphere breaks off, as the stylus is made ‘seamless’.
Solid diamond or diamond-coated styli?
The choice depends on your individual measurement task. Each of the styli has its own advantages.
