Abstract: A high resolution imaging system and method for using it. More specifically, the present invention relates to an imaging system including an imaging apparatus, a processor and a various features to minimize reflected and ambient light producing consistent, high fidelity images to facilitate high resolution imaging. The system may be used for material inspection and may be particularly beneficial for enlarging an image of an object, determining the geometry or morphology of an object surface, or enabling precise measurement of a feature of an object.

Abstract: A monitoring apparatus and method for measuring light output gradient of a faceplate panel includes a top plate having a center detector and a plurality of corner detectors mounted along a major surface thereof. Lenses are optically coupled to a respective detector, and radiometers are electrically coupled to a respective detector. A bottom plate spaced apart from the top plate has a plurality of light outputs mounted along a major surface thereof and positioned to be opposite each detector. A light source is optically coupled to each light output through a splitter. A computer is electrically coupled to the light source for receiving feedback therefrom and for controlling the light source. The computer is also electrically coupled to each radiometer for recording data therefrom. During monitoring, a faceplate panel having a matrix applied thereto is accurately positioned between the top and bottom plates such that the center detector is located approximately above the center of the faceplate panel.
