    摘要: A method of generating 3D information of a sample using an optical microscope includes: varying the distance between the sample and an objective lens of the optical microscope at predetermined steps, capturing an image at each predetermined step. In one example, the method further includes: determining a characteristic of each pixel in each captured image; determining, for each captured image, the greatest characteristic across all pixels in the captured image; and comparing the greatest characteristic for each captured image to determine if a surface of the sample is present at each step. In another example, the method further includes: determining a characteristic of each pixel in each captured image; determining, for each captured image, a count of pixels that have a characteristic value within a first range; and determining if a surface of the sample is present at each step based on the count of pixels for each captured image.

    摘要: A method of generating 3D information of a sample using an optical microscope includes: varying the distance between the sample and an objective lens of the optical microscope at pre-determined steps, capturing an image at each pre-determined step, determining a characteristic value of each pixel in each captured image, determining a first captured image that is focused on a first surface of the sample based on the characteristic value of each pixel in each captured image, and determining a measurement of an opening in the first surface of the sample based on the first captured image. The first surface of the sample and the second surface of the sample are within a field of view of each of the captured images. The first captured image includes a pattern overlay. In another example, the opening measurement is determined using a second captured image without a pattern overlay.
