ABSTRACT:
A method enables a surface contour of an object to be measured using an optical system. The method includes positioning the object in a measurement cell, filling the cell with fluid, transmitting light towards the object in the measurement cell, measuring the illumination of a surface of the object, generating an image of the object based on the illumination of the surface.
