Abstract
The invention concerns an apparatus for determining a secondary image angle () of a light source () on a transparent object (). To achieve the objective of building a simple apparatus and to determine the secondary image angle () with higher measuring point densities even on transparent objects () with large surfaces in a quick, reliable manner with few movements, the apparatus includes an illuminating device (), which has multiple, simultaneously illuminating, punctiform light sources (), a two-dimensional target () with at least one camera (), whereby at least one camera () is set up to capture the positions of a primary image () and a secondary image () of multiple simultaneously illuminating light sources () at the same time, whereby the primary image () and the secondary image () of one light source () are generated on the target by one of the volume elements () of the transparent object illuminated by the light source (), and an evaluation device () is set up to determine the secondary image angle () of the respective volume element () of the transparent object () based on the positions of the primary image () and the secondary image (). Furthermore, a method for determining the secondary image angle is also specified.
