Abstract
In order to measure the values of the electrical charges (2) carried by a surface S of a dielectric sheet (1), one uses a device consisting of a first electrode or probe (S) facing the surface S, a second electrode (4) applied against the back surface of this sheet, means (F) to displace laterally the probe with respect to the sheet and means (5) to measure the charges (6) induced on this probe. In addition, by means of acoustical, optical or electrical methods, one subjects the surface S to deformation localized in very small spots p (of an area inferior to the one defining the spatial resolution of the measurement) during very short times and repeatly at frequence high enough and in such a way as to have some overlapping of the spots sequentially deformed.
