13^th UPOB Workshop 2026 - High Tech Components - Metrology and Manufacturing

In order to manufacture ultra-precise and high-tech optical components and to be capable of further miniaturization, reliable and extremely precise measurement technology is required. Both the introduced measurement systems as well as the results of round robin measurements show the enormous potential of this field of technology. In addition, a great need for comparability, standardization and proximity to users was also pointed out.

Now we plan this new Workshop with topic - High Tech Components - Metrology and Manufacturing
