The device includes an interferometer 20 with a measuring beam exit 12, a reflection beam entry 14, an interfering beam exit 15, and a light source 1 for creating a light beam 8, an optic detector 16, which is arranged at the interfering beam exit 15 of the interferometer 20 such that a light beam exiting the interfering beam exit 15 impinges the detector and a signal processing unit 17 connected to the detector 16 being embodied such that they can measure measuring signals of the detector 16.

Abstract: A vibrometer and a method for optically measuring oscillations at an object, including a radiation source for creating a source beam, a beam splitter to split the source beam into a measuring beam and a reference beam, an optic interference device for interfering the reference beam with a measuring beam, at least partially reflected by the object, and a detector, with the interference device and the detector being embodied cooperating such that a measuring beam, at least partially deflected by the object, and the reference beam interfere on the detector. The vibrometer is embodied as a heterodyne vibrometer, having an optic frequency shift unit, which is arranged in the optical path of the vibrometer, to form a carrier frequency by creating a frequency difference between the measuring beam and the reference beam.

Abstract: A scanning microscope for the optical measuring of an object in which a measurement beam emitted by the light source impinges the object and is reflected by the object as a reflection beam that reenters through the lens into the radiation path of the microscope. A scanner control unit controls a displacement to change the relative position of the object and the measuring beam so that the beam is directed to at least two different measuring points on the object. An excitation unit periodically excites the object. The reflection beam is visualized on a signal detector, and a signal storage unit saves a measuring sequence of signals of the signal detector. The scanner control unit cooperates with the excitation and signal storage units to control them such that for each measuring point on the object at least one measuring sequence of measuring signals of the signal detector is saved.

Abstract: An interferometer for optically measuring an object (10), including a light source (1), at least one beam splitter (2) and at least one detector (12a, 12b), with the beam splitter being arranged in the beam path of the light source such that a light beam created by the light source is split into a working beam (3) and a reference beam (4). The interferometer is embodied such that the working beam impinges on the object (10) to be measured and the working beam is at least partially reflected by the object and interfered with the reference beam on the detector (12a, 12b).

Abstract: A device for the optic measuring of an object (1), including a signal processing unit (2) as well as an interferometer with a light source (3) and with at least one detector (4a, 4d). The interferometer is embodied such that a light beam (12) created by the light source (3) is split at least into a working beam (12a) and a reference beam (12b), with the working beam (12a) impinging the object (1) and the working beam (12a) is at least partially reflected by the object and interfered with the reference beam (12b) on the detector (4a, 4b).

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.

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.
