PSIA Changes Name to Reflect New Focus on Nanometrology

PSIA Inc., a maker of atomic force and scanning probe microscopes, announced that it has changed its name to Park Systems Corp. Headquartered in Suwon, Korea, with corporate offices in Santa Clara, Calif. and Tokyo, Japan, the company said it will continue to focus on providing nano metrology systems, software and technical expertise for research and development and industrial applications. "Our name change to Park Systems reflects the new breadth and depth of our complete systems, for R&D, for hard disk inspection and metrology, and for pole tip recession data acquisition and analysis," said Park Systems Vice President of Operations Sung Park.

There are 279 suppliers of Microscopy in the Photonics Marketplace.

Glossary

metrology: Metrology is the science and practice of measurement. It encompasses the theoretical and practical aspects of measurement, including the development of measurement standards, techniques, and instruments, as well as the application of measurement principles in various fields. The primary objectives of metrology are to ensure accuracy, reliability, and consistency in measurements and to establish traceability to recognized standards. Metrology plays a crucial role in science, industry,...
nano: An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
photonics: The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
