Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19520606A1] The proposed device for use in the optical investigation of surfaces, in particular object carriers, is provided with a line sensor (3) secured to a support (2) by at least one spacer unit (8). The line sensor is moved in a plane parallel to the plane of investigation by bending, tilting or pivoting the (minimum of one) spacer unit. Signals from the line sensor are evaluated to obtain data on the surface or plane.
