Q-pod Quartz Crystal Monitor


The Capabilities of a Traditional QCM at a Fraction of the Size and Cost

The new INFICON Q-pod™ transducer is a small, inexpensive, accurate way to measure thin film deposition rate and thickness. Setup and operation couldn't be easier. Connect the Q-pod BNC connector to the signal cable from a QCM sensor. On the other side, a standard USB cable connects to your PC. No external oscillator or power source is required. Load the free Q-pod software on your PC and you're ready to go. Q-pod software displays rate, thickness, frequency, crystal life, and a graph of rate versus time, for up to 8 Q-pods simultaneously. Q-pod readings can be logged to disk in spreadsheet friendly comma-delimited format.

Features at a Glance
  • Simplest and least expensive QCM available anywhere
  • Connect directly to your PC's USB ports - up to 8 Q-pods
  • Windows®-based software included for operation and data logging
  • Weighs less than 2 ounces and small enough to fit in a shirt pocket
