The invention relates to a method and an apparatus (01, 17) for examining an object, particularly in terms of the surface morphology thereof. Said apparatus (01, 17) comprises a transportable housing (02) which can be placed, especially by hand, above the surface segment of the object that is to be examined, and at least three light sources (06), the optical beam axes of which extend at a slanted angle of incidence relative to the surface segment that is to be examined. The light sources (07) are disposed inside the housing and can illuminate the surface segment that is to be examined through an illumination aperture (08) in the housing (02). The apparatus (01, 17) further comprises at least one light sensor (09) for detecting the light reflected on the surface segment that is to be examined and a control and evaluation unit which is connected to the light sources (06) and the light sensor (09). The light sources (06) are arranged such that the optical beam axes (07) thereof extend on different, non-parallel reference planes.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif (01, 17) pour l'examen d'un objet, en considération notamment de la configuration de sa surface, dispositif comprenant : un boîtier transportable (02), qui peut être positionné, en particulier manuellement, au-dessus du segment de surface de l'objet à examiner; au moins trois sources lumineuses (06) dont les axes de rayonnement optiques (07) sont dirigés sous un angle d'incidence incliné par rapport au segment de surface à examiner, les sources lumineuses (07) étant disposées à l'intérieur du boîtier et pouvant éclairer le segment de surface à examiner à travers un orifice d'éclairage (08) ménagé dans le boîtier (02); au moins un détecteur de lumière servant à détecter la lumière réfléchie sur le segment de surface à examiner; une unité de commande et d'évaluation qui est connectée avec les sources lumineuses (06) et le détecteur de lumière (09). L'invention est caractérisée en ce que les sources lumineuses (06) sont disposées de façon que leurs axes de rayonnement optiques (07) s'étendent respectivement dans des plans de référence différents, non parallèles entre eux.
