ABSTRACT:
An optical inspection system for distinguishing between a laminate formed of a first component having a second component disposed on a first surface thereof, comprising a collection optics including a cylindrical concave elliptical reflecting surface and having a first focal line coplanar with a first surface of the laminate. A light source in fixed spatial relationship with the collection optics directs a first beam of light through an aperture in the elliptical reflecting surface towards the laminate so as to strike the surface along the first focal line and to produce a substantially conical fluorescent emission and so as to be reflected as a substantially conical reflection beam from respective first and second components of the laminate. A filter is disposed near a second focal line of the elliptical reflecting surface for separating the fluorescent emission from the reflection beam. First and second collectors collect the separated fluorescent emission and the separated reflection beam both emanating from limited areas of the laminate, while an analyzing means is coupled to the first and second collectors and responsive to respective collector signals for analyzing the first and second components of the laminate.
