Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to an image acquisition system and an image acquisition method, as well as to an inspection system having at least one such image acquisition system. A projector projects a pattern on a surface of a sample, a camera records light intensity information from within at least two detection fields defined by the camera on the surface of the sample. A relative motion between the sample on the one hand and the camera and projector on the other hand is generated. From the acquired at least one image a height profile of the surface of the sample may be inferred. The pattern may comprise a number of sub-patterns related to each other by a phase shift. Alternatively, the pattern may be a fringe pattern.
