A profilometer is a measuring instrument used to measure a surface's profile, in order to quantify its roughness. It is commonly used in manufacturing, materials science, and other fields to characterize the texture of a surface, measuring parameters such as surface roughness, waviness, and step height. Profilometers can be contact or non-contact, with contact profilometers dragging a stylus across the surface and non-contact profilometers using optical or other means to measure the surface profile.
