Portable Profilometer

Jr25 Portable Profilometer Gets New Design!

The Jr25 is the first truly portable high performance Profilometer of its kind. With an optional battery pack and carrying case, the Jr25 provides measurement capability during field studies. To enhance user convenience and control the entire portable profilometer frame has been extended as gripping handles.
