  • GEOMETRIC MEASUREMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MEASURING A GEOMETRIC CHARACTERISTIC OF AN OBJECT
    Publication number: 20100277694
    Abstract: A geometric measurement system is adapted to precisely measure one or more surfaces of objects such as corneas, molds, contact lenses in molds, contact lenses, or other objects in a fixture. The geometric measurement system can employ one or more of three possible methods of measurement: Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensing with wavefront stitching; phase diversity sensing; and white light interferometry.
    Type: Application
    Filed: November 6, 2009
    Publication date: November 4, 2010
    Applicant: AMO WaveFront Sciences, LLC.
    Inventors: DANIEL R. NEAL, THOMAS DANIEL RAYMOND, WILLIAM SHEA POWERS
