Aims:
1.Measure liner designed surface structure;2.non-destructive (cylinder to be run again);3.in-situ; 4.in lab: full liner in cylinder (high accuracy);5.at factory for quality control (faster and robuster)

Extermely small details are visible at 100x increased resolution.
At 1000x resolution a single white blood cell is visible.
At 1000 000x resolution we can study the DNA-spiral structure.

Project process:Project process:
•1. Proof of concept•2. Speed up measurement (10-100 times)
– New algorithm– Combine with development of new measuring head
•3. New design - mount on engine block•4. In-situ measurements of cylinder:
– Before– After wear
•5. Same for can ring (same wear period)
Much left to do, but promisingMuch left to do, but promising ...
