Patent ID: 8599372

Claim:
A linear chromatic confocal microscopic system, comprising: a light source for providing a detecting light; a first optical fiber module, having one end coupled to the light source, and the other end for modulating the detecting light into a modulated light; a chromatic dispersion objective, coupled to the first optical fiber module, having at least two chromatic aberration lenses for modulating the modulated light into an axial chromatic dispersion light projecting onto an object and reflected from the object to form an object light, wherein the axial chromatic dispersion light comprises a plurality of sub line-type light fields having different focal lengths and corresponding wavelengths, respectively; a second optical fiber module, having a plurality of second optical fibers aligned linearly for being coupled to the chromatic dispersion objective so as to spatially filter the object light, thereby forming a filtered light; a spectrum image sensing unit coupled to the second optical fiber module for sensing the filtered light so as to form a spectrum image; and an operation processing unit, electrically connected to the spectrum image sensing unit for receiving the spectrum image and performing a calculation to generate a line-type sectional profile with respect to the object; wherein the first optical fiber module has a plurality of first optical fibers linearly arranged to couple with the chromatic dispersion objective, and each first optical fiber optically coupled to the chromatic dispersion objective is conjugate to each corresponding second optical fiber linearly coupled to the chromatic dispersion objective.
