Some surfaces claim precision—but under an atomic force microscope, most don’t stand a chance. We scanned everything from ...

A flatness value of 1.000 would indicate “perfect, platonic flatness.” The pancake was scored as 0.957, which the researchers said is “pretty flat, but far from perfectly flat.” ...

Try gift-wrapping a soccer ball, and you will quickly encounter the geometric abyss between paper’s inherent flatness and a sphere’s natural curves. “The very first bit seems to sort of match, but as ...

Optical Surfaces is a leading supplier of large, high precision reference flats and mirrors (coated flats) to research establishments, high power laser facilities and organisations worldwide. For high ...

This flatness specification allows for no more than 400 microns of deviation across the length of any side — less than the thickness of four sheets of paper. The new straight edges and the presence of ...
