Chromatic confocal measuring device

An optical measuring device, comprising:

• a measuring head comprising imaging optics and an evaluation unit, the measuring head defining a recess,
• wherein the measuring head is connected to the evaluation unit by two light-conducting fibers,
• wherein the evaluation unit comprises a light source, the light of which is guided into the measuring head through a first light-conducting fiber of the two light-conducting fibers,
• wherein light reflected from an object to be measured is guided back through the measuring head and into a second light-conducting fiber of the two light-conducting fibers by means of a beam splitter such that outgoing and return light are separated,
• wherein the fiber ends are located in conjugate positions with respect to each other,
• wherein the beam splitter and the fiber ends are arranged together in a connector that is separably connected to the measuring head, the connector being positioned within the recess, and
• wherein the connector is configured to be detached from the measuring head and then, in the same condition, reattached to the measuring head.
