High-speed 3D surface scanning by Area Confocal Scanning Microscopy (ACSM)
A German university has developed a new area confocal scanning microscopy (ACMS) which is ideal for optical non-contact measurements such as surface inspection and 3D metrology. Compared to conventional measuring systems, the scanning speed is increased by a factor of several hundred, with only a slight reduction in resolution. The University is looking for cooperation partners, licensee and/or investors to further develop the new technology to series maturity.
