Linescan measurements at V-grooves of glass fiber guides:
The following measurements are made
at V-grooves that were prepared as glass fiber guides in the optical industry.
The left Linescan gives an overview about the array of V-grooves, the
right Linescan was made only along one single V-groove in high resolution:
|
In 3D mode it is possible to prepare a 3D topography scan of one
single V-groove in high resolution:
Other measurement methods are not able to measure along these sample
structures:

| Confocal Microscopes cannot measure deep into the grooves: |
 |
| A chromatic aberration sensor can measure deep into the grooves
but delivers a wrong shape: |
