Chromatic Confocal Measurement<br />

Principle:<br />

: A chromatic lens L generates the image of a point white-light source W as a continuum of monochromatic images<br />

located on the optical axis (“Chromatic coding”). A sample is located inside the color-coded segment and its<br />

surface scatters the incident light beam.<br />

: The backscattered light passes through the chromatic lens L in the opposite direction, and arrives at a pinhole P<br />

which filters out all wavelengths except a single wavelength, M . The collected light is analyzed by a spectrometer<br />

S. The sample position (point M) is directly related to the detected wavelength.<br />

Advantages:<br />

- High resolution<br />

- High signal-to-noise ratio<br />

- No motion in “Z” required<br />

- Works on all types of samples<br />

- Wide choice of measuring ranges<br />

- Steep slope compatibility<br />

- Coaxial (no shadowing)<br />

- “Speckle” free from low to high reflectivity<br />

- Measurement of transparent objects<br />
