摘要: A confocal microscope for determination of a layer thickness comprises: a focus adjusting device configured to adjust a relative displacement between a focus position of the illumination light and a specimen position along an optical axis, wherein measurement signals belonging to different settings of the focus adjusting device can be recorded; an evaluation device for determining a specimen layer thickness as follows: determine intensity band positions of two intensity bands in a measurement graph recorded by a light measuring device, the measurement graph indicating a light intensity in dependence of the focus position; determine a layer thickness on the basis of a positional difference between the intensity band positions; and determine the layer thickness using a mathematical model which describes for overlapping intensity bands a dependence of the intensity band positions on a light wavelength and the layer thickness, considering interference of the illumination light at the layer.

摘要: Inspecting a multilayer sample. In one example embodiment, a method may include receiving, at a beam splitter, light and splitting the light into first and second portions; combining, at the beam splitter, the first portion of the light after being reflected from a multilayer sample and the second portion of the light after being reflected from a reflector; receiving, at a computer-controlled system for analyzing Fabry-Perot fringes, the combined light and spectrally analyzing the combined light to determine a value of a total power impinging a slit of the system for analyzing Fabry-Perot fringes; determining an optical path difference (OPD); recording an interferogram that plots the value versus the OPD for the OPD; performing the previous acts of the method one or more additional times with a different OPD; and using the interferogram for each of the different OPDs to determine the thicknesses and order of the layers of the multilayer sample.

摘要: A height detection apparatus successively changes the brightness of white light from a first level to a second level in accordance with a position of a Z stage and captures an image of interference light while moving a two-beam interference objective lens relative to a paste film in an optical axis direction, detects, as a focus position, a position of the Z stage where the intensity of interference light is highest in a period during which the brightness of white light is set to the first or second level, for each pixel of the captured image, and obtains the height of the paste film based on a detection result.

摘要: An apparatus and method of measuring biofilm and biological activity on a surface is disclosed. The apparatus includes a biofilm, which includes one or more microorganisms, grown on a substrate. A viewing window is placed on a surface of the biofilm and a gas bubble is introduced between the viewing window and the surface of the biofilm. The space between the substrate and the viewing window may be enclosed in a casing that has an inlet and an outlet, forming a flow cell. A microscope system, such as a white light interferometer, captures data of the biofilm in situ and non-destructively. The 3D images of biofilm surface have high resolution while maintaining a large field of view. The apparatuses and methods will be useful for fundamental studies of biofilms, biomedical and environmental screening, and many other applications in biology and the life sciences.

摘要: Apparatus and methods are described for performing structure measurement on a tear film of an eye of a subject. At least a portion of a surface of the tear film is illuminated using a broadband light source. A spectrum of light of the broadband light that is reflected from at least one point of the tear film is measured, using a spectrometer. Color information for a plurality of points of the tear film is obtained, by imaging a field of view of the tear film using a color camera. Using a processing unit, data from the color camera and data from the spectrometer that are indicative of characteristics of the tear film are received, and based upon a combination of the data received from the color camera and the data received from the spectrometer, an output is generated that is indicative of a structure of the tear film.

摘要: The present invention provides a detection device and a detection method. The detection device comprises a light source module, a receiving module, an image generation module and a judgment module. The light source module is configured to emit light towards a film at a predetermined angle, the receiving module is configured to receive interference light formed by first reflected light reflected by an upper surface of the film and second reflected light reflected by a lower surface of the film, the image generation module is configured to generate an equal thickness interference fringe image according to the interference light, and the judgment module is configured to judge whether thickness of the film is uniform according to the equal thickness interference fringe image. The detection device can perform high accuracy detection on uniformity of the thickness of a film, thereby facilitating improving display quality of a display panel.

摘要: A scanning monochromatic spatial low-coherent interferometer (S-LCI) can be used to simultaneously measure geometric thickness and refractive index. The probe beam of the scanning S-LCI can be an off-axis converging single wavelength laser beam, and the decomposed incident angles of the beam on the sample can be accurately defined in the Fourier domain. The angle dependent phase shift of a plane parallel plate or other sample can be obtained in a single system measurement. From the angle dependent phase shift, the geometric thickness and refractive index of the sample can be simultaneously obtained. Additionally or alternatively, the S-LCI system can interrogate the sample to profile the location and refractive index of one or more layers within the sample using the disclosed techniques.
