Probing deflections are measured via high resolution Linear Variable Differential Transducers (LVDT). The LSP-S4 supports all the standard probing modes like Single Point Probing, Self-Centering as well as Continuous High-Speed-Scanning for fast and accurate form and profile measurements.
Like all other Leitz probe heads, the LSP-S4 provides simultaneous and unclamped probing in all axes, always orthogonal to the surface. This allows the correct compensation of any styli deflection.
