9512171 Dow该奖项为北卡罗莱纳州立大学精密工程中心购买两台测量仪器提供资金。拟购买的设备包括一个垂直范围扩展为6mm，分辨率为10nm的RTH Form Talysurf机械轮廓仪，以及一个光学轮廓仪系统，该系统由Zyro Maxim GP/New View 100表面分析仪和一个GPIxps激光干涉仪组成，视场为2mm，垂直范围为100微米，分辨率为1A。精密工程中心在高科技精密制造领域进行研究和教育学生。在该设施进行的研究包括光学、电子和机械设备的测量和制造，这些设备需要高精度。项目包括钻石车削和陶瓷和玻璃表面的制造。这些仪器将改善一些正在进行的项目的研究，包括玻璃和陶瓷材料的光学和结构部件，红外光学脆性材料的金刚石图灵，工具涂层和摩擦学表面的金刚石膜表面光洁度和磨损测量，以及电子和光电子球面光学旋转不对称表面的测量。

9512171 Dow This award provides funding to acquire two measuring instruments at the Precision Engineering Center at North Carolina State University. The equipment to be purchased includes an RTH Form Talysurf mechanical profilometer with an extended vertical range of 6mm and a resolution of 10nm, and an optical profilometer system consisting of a Zyro Maxim GP/New View 100 Surface Analyzer and a GPIxps Laser Interferometer with a 2 mm field of view and 1A resolution over a 100 micron vertical range. The Precision Engineering Center conducts research and educates students in the area of high-technology precision manufacturing. Research conducted at the facility encompasses measurement and fabrication of optical, electronic, and mechanical devices where high precision is required. Projects include diamond turning and the fabrication of ceramic and glass surfaces. These instruments will improve research on a number of ongoing projects ilvolving optical and structural components in glass and ceramic materials, diamond Turing of brittle materials for infrared optics, measurement of surface finish and wear of diamond films for tool coatings and tribological surfaces, and measurement of rotationally asymmetric surfaces for electronic and optoelectronic spherical optics.
