A commercial chromatic confocal displacement sensor, designed for probing a target at normal incidence, is adapted to probe reflective targets at an oblique incidence angle. The sensor is modified by positioning two low-cost optical elements-a collimating lens and a retro-reflector-in the reflection plane.

The limited focal shift of conventional achromatic objectives constrains the maximum imaging depth of chromatic confocal microscopes. To address this, we designed a hyperchromatic confocal microscope using diffractive optical elements, which was fabricated by single-point diamond turning (SPDT). This design takes advantage of the small Abbe number of diffractive optical elements to introduce a significant longitudinal chromatic shift.

In chromatic confocal line sensors, calibration is usually divided into peak extraction and wavelength calibration. In previous research, the focus was mainly on peak extraction. In this paper, a kernel-based algorithm is proposed to deal with wavelength calibration, which corresponds to the mapping relationship between peaks (i.

Chromatic confocal technology is widely used for precise, steady, and efficient displacement measurement in many industrial fields. It employs the confocal and dispersion principles to encode axial positions with the wavelengths of the reflected broad spectrum. The typical chromatic confocal sensor includes a light source, a dispersion objective, conjugate pinholes, and a spectral detection device.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine if there's a connection between tactile sensation, surface roughness, and reflection intensity in active enamel lesions of both primary and permanent teeth.
- Researchers used freshly extracted teeth to measure various roughness metrics and reflection intensity, comparing sound areas versus carious areas using specialized microscopes and tactile exams.
- Findings indicated significant differences in roughness and reflectance between healthy and carious enamel in both dentition types, highlighting the effectiveness of different exploration tools in evaluating these changes.
