Device for detecting the topography of objects

摘要

A device for observing objects is described which has an illumination light source, the light of which can be focused onto the part of the object to the observed, a scanning device which generates a scanning movement of the light beam of the illumination light source over the section to be observed and exhibits beam-deflecting and beam-imaging optical elements, a detector device which receives the light reflected from the section to be observed, and an evaluating and synchronising unit which generates an image of the section to be observed from the time-sequential output signal of the detector device. The device according to the invention is distinguished by the fact that, for generating a stereoscopic image, the optical axis of the observation and/or illumination beam can be displaced in a pupillary plane and that the images generated with different position of the optical axis can be superimposed for generating a stereo image.
