Abstract: The collapsible landing net includes a substantially elongate pole having an arm stabilizer at one end and a main hinge disposed on the opposite end. An intermediate hand grip portion defines a handle with a grip thereon. A collapsible net assembly is operatively attached to a pivot block on the main hinge to selectively fold the collapsible landing net. The collapsible net assembly includes a pair of curvilinear net rims threaded through a hook free net. The net rims are pivotal about a common point at one end of each net rim, while the other end is connected to the pivot block. The collapsible net assembly may be collapsed by selectively rotating the net rims into a folded position and locked.

Abstract: An improved apparatus and method for the analysis of surface data collected using a sub-micron scale metrology instrument which provides a persistent user experience by allocating set portions of the display to major functional regions thereby allowing a quick to learn and easy to user interface for the setup, analysis, and display of microscopic 3D surface data measurements and resulting analytic data with a variety of 3D surface scanners.
