"We are pleased to announce receiving multiple orders and shipping our next generation "EZ" series VSM," said Tom McNabb, President and COO of MicroSense. "With 30 years of VSM experience, we continually strive to improve our metrology system performance in providing value to our global customers. MicroSense is the only company to offer both VSM systems for R&D, and also magnetic metrology systems for production environments."

"The EZ series VSM systems offer exceptional field control resulting in faster measurements with improved sensitivity. The signal to noise ratio for a typical magnetic measurement at temperature is at least 5 times better than what is offered by our competitors," according to Erik Samwel, Ph.D., Director of VSM Business at MicroSense. "Compared to our previous generation VSM's, these new systems offer improved performance, a smaller footprint, and a more contemporary design."
