Abstract

See full text

A triangulation-based optical profilometry system for scanning a three-dimensional sample surface located at a sample plane includes a projection system; an image sensor; a processing unit; an objective lens assembly for imaging onto the image sensor a luminous line formed on the sample plane, a first direction orthogonal to an optical axis and being defined parallel to an extent of the luminous line, a second direction being defined perpendicular to the first direction; and a diaphragm defining a non-circular aperture defined by a first dimension and a second dimension greater than the first dimension, the diaphragm being rotationally oriented such that the first dimension is aligned with the first direction and the second dimension is aligned with the second direction, the objective lens assembly being arranged to form an out-of-focus image of the luminous line on the image sensor.
