Abstract:
Embodiments are directed to an imaging apparatus, which in an embodiment includes a light source to provide light, optics, a translation mechanism and a detector. The optics include focusing optics to perform focusing of the light onto a non-flat focal surface and to direct the light toward a three dimensional object. The translation mechanism adjusts a location of at least one lens of the focusing optics to displace the non-flat focal surface. The detector measures intensities of returning light that is reflected off of the three dimensional object, wherein the intensities of the returning light are measured for a plurality of locations of the at least one lens for determination of positions of a plurality of points of the three dimensional object. Detected positions of one or more of the plurality of points are adjusted to compensate for the non-flat focal surface.

Claim (Index 16):
The imaging apparatus of  claim 12 , further comprising:\n a folding prism along the optical path of the light after the focusing optics, wherein the folding prism is to direct the light onto the three dimensional object to be imaged; wherein the plurality of lenses comprise:\n a first lens group; \n a second lens group disposed proximate to the folding prism, the second lens group having a fixed location relative to the first lens group; and \n a third lens group disposed between the first lens group and the second lens group, the third lens group having a variable location that is adjustable by the translation mechanism, wherein the focusing optics comprises the third lens group.
