  • Patent number: 7079227
    Abstract: An optical assembly to be mounted on a microscope for measuring micro-structures is provided, which images a first object image (7) onto a second object image (8) lying above the optical assembly and in this way shifts the object image at a standardized interface for a camera (12), as well as the interface for the camera itself, upwards. The optical assembly permits a stroboscope lamp (6) to be coupled into the incident beam path of the microscope over a beam splitter (5) without requiring any structural modifications to the microscope. Instead, the optical assembly according to the invention is simply mounted on the C-mount of the microscope. The invention enables the use of stroboscope lamps in commercially available microscopes, which otherwise are not suitable for stroboscopic examinations.

  • Patent number: 7079258
    Abstract: A measurement device for oscillation measurement, as well as a corresponding method, is proposed, wherein the oscillation measurement is performed by at least one laser interferometer (2, 3), whose measurement beam is directed onto various measurement points (5) of the object (1) for generating a scanning movement, and the obtained oscillation data is correlated with the position data of the respective measurement point (5) and evaluated or displayed. In particular, for three-dimensional measurements, the invention reduces the measurement complexity because the scanning device is a robot arm, which moves a measurement head of the laser interferometer to the desired measurement points on the object.

  • Publication number: 20050280830
    Abstract: An apparatus for optical measurement of an object, especially for measuring movement, is provided, which includes an interferometer for measuring movements along the measurement beam of the interferometer, as well as a confocal auto-focus microscope. The interferometer is coupled in the beam path of the confocal auto-focus microscope, such that the measurement beam of the interferometer is simultaneously the focusing beam of the microscope. Here, it is guaranteed that the interferometric movement measurement is always performed at the focal point of the microscope that is used. This enables automatic correction of the Guoy effect for objectives with high numerical aperture. In addition, for the use of a scanning confocal auto-focus microscope, data sets of test objects can also be measured, which comprise their vibrational behavior, height profile, and optionally also their in-plane movement behavior.

  • Publication number: 20040166471
    Abstract: For non-contact and non-destructive measurement of surfaces of cast models of a tooth in restorative dentistry, a coherent-radar device, whose measurement direction is brought generally into alignment with the insertion or placement direction for the dental restoration is used, with the help of a real-time video image, which is recorded either in the insertion or placement direction. The sample holder is a commercially available magnetic tilting table. A light source can be used, which has a narrow bandwidth of about 3-40 nanometers.

  • Patent number: 6084672
    Abstract: A device is provided for optical measurement of an object, in particular for path and/or vibration measurements, using a laser interferometer, wherein a measuring beam is input into the beam path of a microscope. The device has a mechanism for shifting the measuring beam in an approximately parallel manner. The input of the measuring beam is accomplished via a camera connection of the microscope. The shifting device causes a shift of the impact point of the measuring beam on the measurement object, and the measuring beam reflected back or scattered from the measurement object is decoupled via the camera connection from the beam path of the microscope.
