- the first sensor 41 and / or second sensor 42 is arranged over the surface 74 to be examined.
- a lens 73 in particular a lens 73, is used to guide a beam 76, in particular for focusing, between the surface 74 and the first sensor 41 and / or second sensor 42 Microscope lens, arranged.
- a measuring laser beam 75 is coupled into the beam path 76 or a light is coupled out to a camera 71, which can preferably also serve to illuminate the surface 74, by means of a dichroic mirror 72 in each case.
