    Abstract: An optical inspection system is provided with a fixture to support a glass sheet, with the fixture having an optical fiducial. An ultraviolet laser and associated optics form a planar laser sheet that intersects a surface of the glass sheet causing the surface to fluoresce and form a visible wavelength line thereon. A camera has an image sensor for detecting the optical fiducial and the visible wavelength line across at least a portion of a width of the sheet. A control system is configured to (i) image the optical fiducial on the fixture, (ii) define an optical fiducial coordinate system from the imaged optical fiducial, (ii) receive a mathematical model of the glass sheet in a model coordinate system, and (iii) relate the optical fiducial coordinate system to the model coordinate system via at least one transformation. A method of using a non-contact optical inspection system is also provided.

    Abstract: A testing device for detecting defects of transparent test specimens, in particular of ophthalmological lenses, has an illumination device for transilluminating test specimens to be examined and with an image acquisition device for imaging the test specimen transilluminated by the illumination device. The illumination device includes a plurality of linearly adjustable light sources for generating a stripe pattern. To capture the stripe pattern, the acquisition duration of the image acquisition device can be adjusted in such a way that the light emitted by each of the light sources is detected as a light stripe. Further, the disclosure relates to a testing method for detecting a defect of a transparent specimen.
