Go to FilmStar home page FilmStar Optical Thin Film Software is a suite of Windows programs for designing, manufacturing, and measuring optical thin film coatings. Optical coatings are applied to glass and other surfaces by high vacuum deposition. FilmStar is distinguished by its ease-of-use and connectivity to monitoring instruments and spectrometers. FilmStar stands alone in the ability of its users to customize and automate.

Go to Scantraq home page

Scantraq is a standalone version of FilmStar MEASURE, marketed to chemists and spectroscopists and supporting UV/Vis/IR data acquisition and analysis from popular PerkinElmer, Varian, and Agilent models. With its built-in development tools, Scantraq provides a powerful alternative to the software supplied by instrument manufacturers.


Why FilmStar?...Already have design software? That's a good start,  but profitably producing coatings also requires the ability to monitor, measure, characterize, and re-engineer.

When it comes to the business of coating, FilmStar is unmatched. Over the past few years we've sent a number of informative e-mail messages to prospective users. Please browse these e-adverts and Flash videos to discover how FilmStar will help your work and career in optical films.

Two more points: 1. You'll have no problem using FilmStar in conjunction with other programs. 2. There's a good chance that a design from one program will be improved in another. Click here for an example!


Use Microsoft Office?...Sure you do, everyone does. That's why you need thin film design and measurement software that goes far beyond copy and paste. Click a logo to learn how FilmStar helps users get the most from Excel, Word and PowerPoint.

FilmStar DESIGN Free Version...designs and optimizes optical thin film coatings. It could be all the thin film software you need and is a favorite teaching tool at universities around the world.

Film Thickness Module...computes thickness of 'thick' thin films which exhibit fringe structure in reflectance or transmittance.

Inficon IC/5 Data Logger...downloads process data via RS-232 during deposition.


Running your spectrophotometer with pharmaceutical software? Instrument manufacturer's implementations of 21 CFR Part 11 have long exasperated those who don't make pills and potions.

Replacing frustration with pleasure, FilmStar MEASURE (Scantraq for chemists) meets the needs of users of new and legacy instruments... from 983 to Lambda 1050. PE can't offer you software that also runs Cary, but we can! No other software offers the same versatility and automation possibilities. Contact us for an online demo today.
