This paper reports intermediate findings during an ongoing stability test that will run for 24 months.

In this paper we show that the residual flatness error on a reference sphere measured with a 10X can make the measurement of the radius to have up to 10% error.

We showed a new approach for areal measurements of cylindrical surfaces that uses a rotational stage in combination with a slit projection confocal arrangement and a highspeed camera.

By the combination of a high numerical aperture (NA) optical system, a rotational stage and a line-scan camera, unrolled sections of the outer and inner surfaces of the stent are obtained and [...]

In this paper we propose the use of a rotational stage with the combination of a slit-confocal imaging system capable of acquiring unrolled confocal images with a line-scan approach while the [...]

We make a comparison between the conventional microscope image formation and a new approach. A calibration process and the investigation of the error sources that lead to inaccuracies of the [...]

In this paper, a new technique to fuse data incoming from a single confocal and focus variation scan is presented.

A theoretical model and a simulation are proposed, and a measurement with white light interferometry is shown in this publication.

The Round Robin results show the applicability of the newly developed bio-imaging transfer standard for calibrating 3D optical profilers.

A theoretical model and a simulation are proposed, and a measurement with white light interferometry is shown in this publication.

This work shows the benefit of a techniques combination on several industrial samples where neither confocal nor focus variation is able to provide optimal results.

We introduce a new optical technique for the measurement of aspheric and free-form optics and moulds in this paper.
