Latest Patents
Roberts holds a patent for a "High speed autofocus and tilt for an optical imaging system." This invention provides a method and apparatus for high-speed autofocus and tilt of an inspection surface in a microscope system. The technology involves projecting an array of spots, lines, circles, grids, or other shapes onto the surface to be adjusted. A CCD camera captures the superimposed image for subsequent analysis. The analysis determines both the distance and angle through which the surface must be adjusted to bring it into the focal plane of the optical system. Focus and tilt error is estimated by comparing image dilation and distortion with calibrated data.
