Claim Text:
1. A sensor element for a measuring machine, comprising: a probe component having a probe element for optical measurement of a surface and a probe element holder with a plate-shaped base, a sensor housing with a probe component holder comprising at least one bearing which contacts the base and has at least one defined contact point by means of which the probe component is connected movably relative to the probe component holder, wherein the sensor housing has a coupling side with a coupling for a releasable connection, with the measuring machine, and optical contacts and/or electrical contacts, wherein the sensor housing at least partially encloses the probe component on the base and a force directed in the direction of the probe element is applied to the base, wherein the probe component holder lies opposite the coupling side in the sensor housing and carries the at least one bearing; and wherein the base of the probe component is arranged between the coupling side and the probe component holder, wherein a centrally arranged cylindrical or spindle-shaped compression spring, which presses the base against the at least one bearing and comprises an optical fiber guided in its longitudinal axis, is arranged between the coupling side and the base of the probe component.
