, C9913GC, Measurement example Film thickness measurement (white light interferometry) Thickness of μm thick food wrapping film (polyvinylidene chloride) was measured with (TG-NIR). 3 Note: Principle of film thickness measurement: In film thickness measurement utilizing white light interferometry, an interference spectrum resulting from internal reflections between the front and back surfaces of a film is obtained. The film thickness can then be determined by calculation from the spectral peak count, wavelength range, refractive index of film and incident light angle.
