1. An apparatus for optical inspection of objects, comprising:
- a planar conveyor (1) along a first direction (X) of objects to be analyzed;
a photographic system (2) placed above an area of the conveyor and in a fixed position with respect thereto, the photographic system comprising at least one first set (2) of digital cameras (22) each comprising an orthogonal array of pixels, said cameras being aligned in a second direction (Y, Y′
) different from the first direction, the cameras being all oriented so that the orthogonal array of pixels is parallel to a plane (X, Y) of the planar conveyor and one of the orthogonal directions of their pixel array forms a first, non-zero angle (α
) less than 90 degrees with the first direction and the other direction of the orthogonal directions of their pixel array forms the first, non-zero angle (α
) less than 90 degrees with another direction perpendicular to the first direction.

Abstract
An installation of optical inspection of integrated circuits or the like, comprising: a planar conveyor along a first direction of the objects to be analyzed and a photographic system placed above an area of the conveyor and in a fixed position with respect thereto, the photographic system comprising at least one first set of digital cameras each comprising an orthogonal array of pixels, said cameras being aligned in a second direction different from the first one, the cameras being all oriented so that one of the orthogonal directions of their pixel array forms a first angle with the first direction.
