Method for the 3-Dimensional Measurement of a Sample With a Measuring System Comprising a Laser Scanning Microscope and Such Measuring System

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the 3-dimensional measurement of a sample with a measuring system having a 3-dimensional measuring space and comprising a laser scanning microscope, characterised by—providing the measuring system with a 3-dimensional virtual reality device,—creating the 3-dimensional virtual space of the measuring space using the 3-dimensional virtual reality device,—allowing for selecting an operation in the virtual space,—providing real-time unidirectional or bidirectional convection between the measuring space and the virtual space such that an operation selected in the virtual space is performed in the measuring space and data measured in the measuring space is displayed in the virtual space. The invention further relates to a measuring system for the 3-dimensional measurement of a sample, the measuring system having a 3-dimensional measuring space and comprising a laser scanning microscope, characterised by further comprising a 3-dimensional virtual reality device for displaying a 3-dimensional virtual space of the measuring space, and a real-time unidirectional or bidirectional connection is provided between the laser scanning microscope and the 3-dimensional virtual reality device.
