Fringe Reflection

Contact: Thorsten Bothe

Measuring Principle

  1. Generation of straight fringes in the coordinate plane.
  2. Recording of deformed fringes on the object (reflection).
  3. Analysing surface angles as well as other analysing of curvature and 3D form.

Obtained Data

Angle of the normal surfaces => locale curvature => 3D Form (height)

Area of Application

In general measurement of all reflective surfaces.

Examples

Liquids (plastic) Lenses Lacquer (orang peel paint effect)

Technical Data

Pixel resolution
Depth 1 nm
Lateral measuring field width / 1000
Gradient 1,8" bzw. 10-5
Curvature 0,05 D
Measuring time 1s ... 600s (variable after wanted resolution)
