Abstract
An optical measuring device includes a 3-D measuring set-up for measuring the shapes of test object surfaces in three dimensions, and projection optics including an objective optics, the test object being illuminated by a light source via an illuminating beam using an illuminating optics. A rapid, highly resolving measurement of surface shapes which are nearly radially symmetric is provided by configuring the objective optics as image-flattening optics for covering (measuring) and flattening a curved surface area or as panoramic optics for measuring a radially symmetric surface area that encircles 360°.
