Description
Specifications for the leaf surface roughness measurement device: Our investigations to improve spray applications and sprayer technologies for pesticides and herbicides requires us to examine the surface roughness or the micro and nano-meter scale topography of the surface on a plant leaf. This is necessary since the surface roughness strongly affects the wettability of a surface and, by extension, the likelihood that an impacting water droplet from a sprayer will adhere to the surface of the leaf. The type of instrument best suited to make this measurement is a 3-D surface profiler. 1) That is non-contact, so as not to destroy the sample. 2) Has nanometer scale resolution in the vertical direction and micrometer scale resolution in the planar direction. 3) Can render an image of the sample at those scales. 4) Can calculate the ISO standards for surface and areal roughness. 5) Acoustically or vibrationally isolated, since vibrations from the measuring table will blur or disrupt measurements at such small scales. 6) Performs the measurements and calculations within a few seconds.
