Patent ID: 7110095

Claim:
A 3-dimensional ultra-high speed integrated dual function topography scanning and spectrometer system, whereby ultra-high speed is inclusive of speeds greater than one million rotations per minute comprising, a two-dimensional scanning head operatively associated with a high precision sample positioning arm for scanning an object to be analyzed, the scanning head being operatively associated with a specially balanced ultra-high rotational speed path length variator, the depth or third dimension path length variator being connected by optical fibers to a single mode wavelength coupler, a light source and a photo detectors being operatively connected to the wavelength coupler, a computer with diagnostic software for real-time combination of two dimensional scanning head data and depth or third dimension path length variator data reduction and 3-D data and subject or sample representation connected to both the light source and the photo detector to reveal topographical and chemical composition data of an organic or inorganic object.
