Abstract
An alignment system for an imaging sensor of a coordinate measuring machine incorporates a reference surface associated with a stage of the measuring machine but instead of imaging the reference surface as a location marker, the reference surface is incorporated into a combined imaging system together with the imaging sensor for imaging a feature associated with the imaging sensor. The imaged feature can be an internal part of the imaging sensor, such as an internal aperture, or an external feature in a fixed relationship with the imaging sensor, such as a lens hood.
