Chromatic Confocal technique uses white light that passes through a series of lenses with high degree of chromatic aberrations. Each wavelength will focus at a different distance creating the vertical measurement range. When a surface of interest is within the measurement range a single wavelength of the white light will be in focus while all others will be out of focus.
Only the focused wavelength will pass through the pin hole filter to reach the CCD spectrometer. The physical wavelength measured corresponds to a vertical position.

LATERAL RESOLUTION vs ACCURACY
THEM
Camera pixel size or display resolution size are often used as lateral resolution to impress clients. For these, complex algorithms
used to determine what is actually in focus, gives a very different story of actual accuracy especially on complex surfaces.
US
Chromatic Confocal lateral accuracy is determined by physics and directly related to the spot size of the light.
