Press Release Summary: F10-VC spectrometer simultaneously measures reflectance and
transmittance

Press Release Body: San Diego CA, August 2008. Filmetrics has announced the
release of its next generation spectrometer, the F10-VC, which measures accurate
reflectance and transmittance simultaneously. The F10-VC offers unmatched
affordability, speed, and ease of use for your vacuum coating analysis application.
With the system's simple-to-use software, one click of the mouse instantly reports
minimum and maximum reflectance and transmittance values in user-configurable
wavelength ranges.

The F10-VC's small footprint means that it can easily be integrated anywhere into
your operation. Your F10-VC arrives as a turn-key package, complete with a laptop,
preloaded software, and reference and thickness standards. The F10-VC comes standard
with Edge-Finding, FWHM analysis routines, color analysis, and Filmetrics
proprietary AutoBaseline feature. A simple upgrade module gives the F10-VC increased
analytical power, adding thickness and index solving capabilities.

"The introduction of the F10-VC represents a huge step forward in Vacuum Coating
characterization. It enables simultaneous reflectance and transmittance, reduces
chances for operator error, and increases the number of samples that can be tested
in a given amount of time exponentially," stated Scott Chalmers, Filmetrics Inc
President. "By introducing the F10-VC, we have taken another big step in reducing
the cost and time to characterize vacuum coatings."
