RESUMO
An on-axis deflectometric microscope system (ODMS) is proposed for the microscopic surface measurement with high accuracy and a large slope dynamic range. To reduce the geometry sensitivity, a beam splitter is employed to build the coaxial configuration among the illumination screen, camera, and tested sample, which facilitates the calibration of system geometrical parameters. Due to the small working distance, the system model miscalibration in the model-ray-tracing-based "null" testing could cause obvious geometrical aberrations. In this paper, the geometrical aberrations due to the system model miscalibration are analyzed, and the corresponding calibration method based on computer-aided reverse optimization is applied to achieve accurate measurement. In addition, the systematic error introduced by the system components in the ODMS are also discussed. Both the simulation and experiment have been carried out to demonstrate the feasibility and high accuracy of the proposed measurement method. The proposed system is compact in structure, large in measurable slope range, and high in spatial resolution, providing a viable metrological tool for the microscopic testing of various freeform surfaces, microstructural elements, and micro-devices.
RESUMO
We propose an off-axis deflectometric microscope system for microscopic surface testing with both high measurement accuracy and a large slope dynamic range. A high-luminance liquid crystal display directly illuminates the tested sample with coded fringes, and then the reflected fringes passing through a microscope objective are captured by a pinhole camera, from which the deflectometric microscopic testing with a large slope range can be achieved. The accuracy of the proposed system is validated numerically and experimentally, and a large measurable slope dynamic range is also demonstrated. The proposed system provides a feasible way with the slope range in the order of sub-radians and sag resolution better than 0.05 nm.
