Dynamic visual inspection of surface micro-damages is significantly favored by the use of well adapted pliable gratings compared to the use of flat reference gratings. The experimental set-up consists of a plastic foil with a printed Ronchi grating stretched between three points which adapts to any cylindrical or conical convex surface independently of the relative orientation grating/surface. Static quantification of defects profiles is also possible with an attached CCD camera. Visual detection of defects in the range of ~30 μm in depth is obtainable.engjournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1364/OE.8.000649http://www.opticsinfobase.orgopen access535Shadow MoiréTopographyÓptica (Física)2209.19 Óptica Física
