Established in 2012 by a group of academic faculty members, Fat’h Noor Mihan is one of the leading companies in Iran’s optical and nanotechnology sector. By combining expertise and creativity, the company has localized cutting-edge global technologies, resulting in the development of strategic products such as 3D interferometry microscopes, optical spectrometers, and 3D profilometers.
The company's CEO highlighted the rapid growth of nanotechnology in recent years, emphasizing the critical need for specialized tools to measure and characterize materials at the nanometer scale. While conventional microscopes offer 2D imaging, they lack the capability to measure surface irregularities at such precision.
One of the company’s flagship innovations is the 3D Optical Nanometric Surface Profiler, which operates based on the principles of white-light interferometry and phase-shift interferometry. This advanced device can accurately measure surface shapes and irregularities at the nanometer scale without damaging the samples, making it a completely non-destructive testing solution.
The profiler boasts high precision, repeatability, faster data acquisition, and a broader field of view compared to conventional electronic-based microscopes like atomic force microscopy (AFM). It is also capable of analyzing larger surface irregularities without compromising accuracy. Due to its sophisticated technology, similar devices are produced in only a few countries, such as the U.S. and Germany.
Designed with cutting-edge technology, this locally produced device is competitive with its foreign counterparts. With an annual production capacity of 20 units, it not only fulfills domestic demand but also holds potential to capture a significant share in global markets.
The 3D nanometric surface profiler has a wide range of applications in various scientific and industrial fields, including physics, optics, chemistry, polymers, metallurgy, mechanical engineering, life sciences, and pharmaceuticals. For instance, in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and steam turbine manufacturing, detecting corrosion and cracks in components is critical. The Fat’h Noor Mihan profiler serves as an essential tool for quality assurance in such high-stakes applications.
By leveraging advanced technologies and focusing on local innovation, Fat’h Noor Mihan is not only supporting Iran’s technological independence but also paving the way for global competitiveness in precision measurement solutions.
