  • Abstract
    A recently developed surface characterization technique, Computer Analyzed Microscopic Interferometry, is shown to have many applications in the study of magnetic recording surfaces. Three-dimensional and quantitative interferometric images produce very high depth resolution without reducing the field of view. This allows very precise surface roughness and volume measurements.
