Introduction
This part of ISO 25178 is a Geometrical Product Specification standard and is to be regarded as a General
GPS standard (see ISO/TR 14638). It influences the chain link 5 of the chains of standards on roughness
profile, waviness profile, primary profile, and areal surface texture.
For more detailed information on the relationship of this standard to the GPS matrix model, see Annex G.
The ISO/GPS Masterplan given in ISO/TR 14638 gives an overview of the ISO/GPS system of which
this standard is a part. The fundamental rules of ISO/GPS given in ISO 8015 apply to this standard and
the default decision rules given in ISO 14253-1 apply to specifications made in accordance with this
standard, unless otherwise indicated.
The point autofocus optical principle can be implemented in various set-ups. The configuration described
in this document comprises three basic elements: an autofocus optical system, an autofocus mechanism,
and an electronic controller.
This type of instrument is mainly designed for areal measurements, but it is also able to perform profile
measurements.
This part of ISO 25178 describes the metrological characteristics of an optical profiler using a point
autofocus probe for the measurement of areal surface texture.
For more detailed information on the point autofocus method, see Annex A. Reading this annex before
the main body may lead to a better understanding of this standard.

instrument noise
N
I
internal noise added to the output signal caused by the instrument if ideally placed in a noise-free
environment
Note 1 to entry: Internal noise can be due to electronic noise, as e.g. amplifiers, or to optical noise, as e.g. stray
light.
Note 2 to entry: This noise typically has high frequencies and it limits the ability of the instrument to detect small
scale spatial wavelengths of the surface texture.
Note 3 to entry: The S-filter according ISO 25178-3 may reduce this noise.
Note 4 to entry: For some instruments, instrument noise cannot be estimated because the instrument only takes
data while moving.

3.1.11
surface topography repeatability
repeatability of topography map in successive measurements of the same surface under the same
conditions of measurement
Note 1 to entry: Surface topography repeatability provides a measure of the likely agreement between repeated
measurements normally expressed as a standard deviation
[1]
Note 2 to entry: See VIM, 2.15 and 2.21, for a general discussion of repeatability and related concepts.
Note 3 to entry: Evaluation of surface topography repeatability is a common method for determining the
measurement noise.
3.1.12
sampling interval in x [y]
D [D ]
x y
distance between two adjacent measured points along the x- [y-] axis
Note 1 to entry: In many microscopy systems the sampling interval is determined by the distance between
sensor elements in a camera, called pixels. For such systems, the terms pixel pitch and pixel spacing are often used
interchangeably with the term sampling interval. Another term, pixel width, indicates a length associated with
one side (x or y) of the sensitive area of a single pixel and is always smaller than the pixel spacing. Yet another
term, sampling zone, may be used to indicate the length or region over which a height sample is determined. This
quantity could either be larger or smaller than the sampling interval.
3.1.13
digitisation step in z
D
Z
smallest height variation along the z-axis between two ordinates of the extracted surface
3.1.14
lateral resolution
R
l
smallest distance between two features which can be detected
[SOURCE: ISO 25178-601:2010, 3.4.10]
3.1.15
width limit for full height transmission
W
l
width of the narrowest rectangular groove whose measured height remains unchanged by the
measurement
Note 1 to entry: Instrument properties such as

—  the sampling interval in x and y,

—  the digitisation step in z, and

—  the short wavelength cut-off filter

should be chosen so that they do not influence the lateral resolution and the width limit for full height transmission.
Note 2 to entry: When determining this parameter by measurement, the depth of the rectangular groove should
be close to that of the surface to be measured.
Note 3 to entry: An example is the measuring of a grid for which the grooves are wider than the width limit for full
height transmission. This leads to a correct measurement of the groove depth (see Figures 4 and 5).

ISO 25178-605:2014(E)

Note 4 to entry: Another example is the measuring of a grid for which the grooves are narrower than the width
limit for full height transmission. This leads to an incorrect groove depth (see Figures 6 and 7). In this situation, the
signal is generally disturbed and may contain non-measured points.

3.1.16
lateral period limit
D
LIM
spatial period of a sinusoidal profile at which the height response of an instrument falls to 50 %
Note 1 to entry: The lateral period limit is one metric for describing spatial or lateral resolution of a surface
topography measuring instrument and its ability to distinguish and measure closely spaced surface features. Its
value depends on the heights of surface features and on the method used to probe the surface. Maximum values
for this parameter are listed in ISO 25178-3:2012, Table 3, in comparison with recommended values for short
wavelength (s-)filters and sampling intervals.
Note 2 to entry: Spatial period is the same concept as spatial wavelength and is the inverse of spatial frequency.
Note 3 to entry: One factor related to the value of D for optical tools is the Rayleigh criterion (3.3.7). Another is
LIM
the degree of focus of the objective on the surface.
Note 4 to entry: One factor related to the value of D for contact tools is the stylus tip radius, r (see
LIM TIP
ISO 25178-601).
Note 5 to entry: Other terms related to lateral period limit are structural resolution and topographic spatial
resolution
3.1.17
maximum local slope
greatest local slope of a surface feature that can be assessed by the probing system
Note 1 to entry: The term local slope is defined in ISO 4287:1997, 3.2.9.
3.1.18
instrument transfer function
ITF
f
ITF
function of spatial frequency describing how a surface topography measuring instrument responds to
an object surface topography having a specific spatial frequency
Note 1 to entry: Ideally, the ITF tells us what the measured amplitude of a sinusoidal grating of a specified spatial
frequency, ν, would be relative to the true amplitude of the grating.
Note 2 to entry: For several types of optical instruments, the ITF may be a nonlinear function of height except for
heights much smaller than the optical wavelength.
3.1.19
hysteresis
x , y , z
HYS HYS HYS
property of measuring equipment or characteristic whereby the indication of the equipment or value of
the characteristic depends on the orientation of the preceding stimuli
Note 1 to entry: Hysteresis can also depend, for example, on the distance travelled after the orientation of stimuli
has changed.
Note 2 to entry: For lateral scanning systems, the hysteresis is mainly a repositioning error.

3.1.20
metrological characteristic
characteristic of measuring equipment, which may influence the results of
measurement
