Penny 2 – Lincoln and Columns

This series of data captures a US one cent coin with two different systems, at 3 resolutions:

• PennyBack-LincolnAndPillars, this dataset, measured with a Zygo NewView 8300 at 2.75x.
• Penny-All shows the entire back of the coin, measured with a Keyence VR-3100 at 12x.
• PennyBack-Lincoln measured with a Zygo NewView 8300 at 10x.

We featured this data in our blog post, How much does it cost to compare measurement systems? because it helps to highlight the difference in lateral resolution and  field of view between various measurement technologies.

In this data, PennyBack-LincolnAndPillars data, taken with Zygo NewView 8300 at 2.75x, we can see the form of Abraham Lincoln in the Memorial:

Compare the resolution and field of view of this data to that of the PennyBack-Lincoln data, taken with the NewView at 10x:

and the full Penny data, in which we can just barely make out Abe Lincoln seated between the columns:
