The invention relates to a measuring system (1) for measuring an object, the measuring system (1) comprising a measuring device (10) and a controlling and processing unit (5). The measuring device (10) comprises at least one camera (11), a first optical sensor (20) and a second optical sensor (30), the first optical sensor (20) provides a first field of view and is configured for collecting first measuring data representing a first part of the object (2), the second optical sensor (30) provides a second field of view and is configured for collecting second measuring data representing a second part of the object (2). The second optical sensor (30) comprises at least three light sources (31-34) configured for illuminating the object (2) from at least three different poses. The controlling and processing unit (5) comprises a second capturing mode which is configured to provide the second measuring data by illuminating the object (2) from the at least three different poses by performing at least three illumination steps with each illumination step providing illumination by one of the three light sources (31-34), capturing at least three images by capturing an image for each of the illumination steps, deriving surface topography information based on processing the at least three images and the at least three different poses of the light sources (31-34), and the controlling and processing unit (5) comprises a referencing functionality which is configured to provide registered measuring data by referencing the first measuring data with the second measuring data.
