  • Patent number: 8203608
    Abstract: In a measuring system comprising an optical image recording system and a relative movement between the measured object and the image recording system, it is provided that the focal point (F) of the image recording system (3) be allowed to oscillate in scanning direction in order to generate—by superimposition of the oscillation movement of the focal point with the scanning movement—image recording intervals, during which the focal point (F) stops on the surface of the measured object (2) or, correspondingly, the image projected on the camera chip (7) stops on the camera chip. This preferably occurs during a steady unaccelerated relative movement between the measured object and the image recording system. Blurring of the edges of the images is avoided despite relatively long exposure times and moderate illumination intensities.
