ABSTRACT:
A method for imaging an article, the method includes: (i) providing short duration light pulses; (ii) directing the light pulses, by multiple optical heads, to illuminate multiple spaced apart areas of an article; and (iii) directing light from the multiple areas towards multiple two-dimensional light sensors; whereas (iv) imparting motion between the article and the multiple optical heads during the stages of providing and directing. An apparatus for inspecting an article that includes: (i) at least one pulsating source for providing short duration light pulses; (ii) multiple optical heads, adapted to direct the light pulses to illuminate multiple spaced apart areas of an article and to collect light from the multiple areas towards multiple two-dimensional light sensors; and (iii) a positioning device which is adapted to impart motion between the article and the multiple optical heads.
