While individual samples of bone varied in both texture and structure, they found that duration of use was the largest and most unequivocal determinant affecting the surface of the bone.

Three-Dimensional Interpretation of Surface Functionality A much more comprehensive interpretation of surface functionality can be derived using the 3D visualization, filtering and analysis options in ...

Finally, optical focusing techniques are employed for more coarse manufacturing surface finishes, but are not generally able to achieve the Z resolution of an interference-based 3D optical profiler, ...

Surface metrology tools can now deliver true, three-dimensional profiles, plus ISO texture, roughness and shape surface parameters, as well as other metrics that correlate with actual performance The ...

Quantitative three-dimensional analysis of bone wear patterns can provide insight into the manufacture and use of early human tools, according to a new study.

The system could quickly and automatically reveal changes in the 3D surface texture of skin that occur in malignant melanoma, which are much greater than in benign lesions, such as moles and ...
