Roughness Measurement of Pill Using 3D Profilometry
In this application, the ST400 Profilometer is used to measure and compare surface roughness measurement values of different types of tablets. Excedrin, Advil, and generic forms of Excedrin and Advil, distributed by SUPERVALU Inc., are the tablets measured in this application. Comparisons can be made between generic and name brand tablet surface roughness, between coated and uncoated tablet surface roughness, and also among the same type of tablet to check the variations in surface roughness, mainly through the standard deviation.
