<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a scanning probe for capturing data from a plurality of points on the surface of an object by irradiating the object with a light stripe and detecting light reflected from the object surface. <P>SOLUTION: The scanning probe comprises: (a) stripe generating means 14 for generating and emitting a light stripe; (b) a camera 16 comprising an imaging sensor having an array of pixels to detect the light stripe reflected from the object surface; and (c) means for adjusting the intensity of the light stripe during acquisition of the frame, in dependence upon the intensities detected by the camera 16. The present invention also relates to means to modify the stripe length, a scanner with separate compartment for processing means, and an attachable dust cover for the scanner. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
