NOVELTY - The measurement equipment includes a white light source (1), an optical prism (2), a camera (3), and an optical unit (4). The camera is used for recording an image and the optical unit is used for rectification of white light into beam. The white light source has a continuous spectrum.    USE - Measurement equipment for measuring distance between sensor and tested product. Uses include but are not limited to measurement and testing of the position of parts on printed circuit boards or checking the position of the connectors for parts in the area of electronics, measurement of board flatness for the specification of their quality in the production of boards and other items, testing the forms of items when recording an image without the necessity of scanning from more positions, and testing surface roughness and defects. Can also be used in approximation or target inspection of geometry and measurement of the distance of individual products or their parts, particularly where there is the necessity to optically measure the distance between the sensor and the tested part in the direction in which the change is not reflected on the image in the normal status.    ADVANTAGE - Shortens testing time since it is not necessary to perform test of the area for color and implements three-dimensional test directly into the normal reading of the image. Enables recording the image and scanning an item for geometric testing in one step. Achieves precision of measurement for small items and their parts. Prolongs service life since the only part with a restricted service life is the source of light. Exhibits high variability and usability resulting from the easily adjustable scope of measurement.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for the following:    (1) a measurement method;    (2) a use of the measurement equipment; and    (3) a use of the measurement method.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows the explanatory diagram of the equipment for measuring the tested product adjusted to zero height.
