ABSTRACT:
A device is provided for optically measuring shapes and/or examining objects, comprising at least one camera, at least one lens, a scattering body and at least two light sources. The device is characterized in that the scattering body is opaque and that at least two light sources are disposed on the inside of the scattering body and illuminate the inside thereof, and that either only two light sources are used, which are disposed opposite from one another on an imaginary diameter line, or that the light sources are disposed at the corners of a—preferably equilateral—triangle or a cross.
