Probe head (101) with a housing part (101A) for optical shape detection and / or surface inspection of a component (B) n ) comprehensive - at least one camera (K0) with at least one lens for recording image data of at least one measurement area image of a measurement area
image sequence of a component surface of the component (B) n ), - at least one switchable lighting element (101B) as a
light source for illuminating at least one area of the component surface of the component (B n ) during the recording of the at least one measurement range image, wherein - the at least one illumination element (101B) outside the
north pole of a hemispherical scattering body (101D) opposite a measuring plane (ΔS) Bx x ΔS By ) of the measurement range image is arranged at an angle and - that at least one lens of the camera (K0) is arranged relative to the scattering body (101D) such that the lens of the camera (K0) through the viewing aperture (101D-1) of the scattering body (101D) illuminates the illuminated area of the component surface of the component (B) at its
north pole n ) parallel to the
measurement plane (ΔS Bx × ΔS By ) of the measurement range image, characterized in that - a diffuser element (101B-1) is assigned to the at least one lighting element (101B), which scatters the light emitted by the at least one lighting element (101B), which then strikes an inner wall of the housing part (101A) at a predefinable angle, wherein - the inner wall of the housing part (101A) is coated to scatter the light, so that the inner wall acts as a light reflector (101G) and as a scattering element, and the
scattered light is emitted from the inner wall at a reflection angle, which then points onto a component (B) n ) far-facing surface of the scattering body (101D) hits, - wherein the scattering body (101D) distributes the light passing through it on the
exit side of the scattering body (101D), which is directed onto the area of the component surface of the component to be illuminated (B). n ) meets.
