instrument noise

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, e.g. amplifiers, or to optical noise, 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 to ISO 25178-3:2012, can 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 measurement repeatability
repeatability of topography map in successive measurements of the same surface under the same
conditions of measurement
Note 1 to entry: Surface topography measurement repeatability provides a measure of the likely agreement
between repeated measurements normally expressed as a standard deviation.
Note 2 to entry: See ISO/IEC Guide 99:2007, 2.15, and 2.21 for the 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 (3.1.10).
3.1.12
sampling interval in x (respectively y)
D (D )
x y
distance between two adjacent measured points along the x-axis (respectively y-axis)
Note 1 to entry: In many microscopy systems, the sampling interval is determined through the optical
magnification 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
[SOURCE: ISO 25178-601:2010, 3.4.11]
Note 1 to entry: Instrument properties such as the sampling interval in x and y, the digitization step in z, and
the short wavelength cut-off filter can influence the lateral resolution (3.1.14) 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.
EXAMPLE 1 Measuring a grid, for which the grooves are wider than the width limit for full height transmission,
leads to a correct measurement of the groove depth (see Figure 4 and Figure 5).

EXAMPLE 2 Measuring a grid, for which the grooves are narrower than the width limit for full height transmission
(3.1.15), leads to an incorrect groove depth (see Figure 6 and Figure 7). In this situation, the signal is generally
disturbed and may contain non-measured points.

3.1.16
lateral period limit
D
LIM
the 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. Typical values,
mainly for noise suppression, are listed in ISO 25178-3:2012, Table 3, in comparison with the 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, e.g. the Rayleigh criterion (3.3.7);
LIM
another is 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
LIM TIP
(see 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

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 non-linear 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 (3.2.2), the hysteresis is mainly a repositioning error.

3.1.20
metrological characteristic (of a measuring instrument)
characteristic of measuring equipment which may influence the results of
the measurement
Note 1 to entry: Calibration of metrological characteristics may be necessary.
Note 2 to entry: The metrological characteristics have an immediate contribution to measurement uncertainty.
Note 3 to entry: Metrological characteristics for areal surface texture measuring instruments are given in Table 1.
