Leica ScanStation C10 is a 3D laser scanner of the company Leica Geosystems and operates using the time-of-flight measurement method. The small portable measuring instrument is suited for ranges of up to 300m (11811 in) (at 90% albedo) and has a maximum field of view of 360° in the horizontal plane and 270° in the vertical plane. Up to 50.000 points per second are captured during scanning. Leica ScanStation C10 combines a dual-axis compensator, a digital and video camera, a laser plummet (laser class 2) as well as a data storage device in a compact housing. Such as Leica ScanStation C5, the operating is effected by means of the integrated touch screen, a laptop, a tablet PC or an appropriate remote control.
Such as the the predecessor model, Leica ScanStation C10 operates according to Smart X-Mirror™: ™: The mirror reflecting the laser beam rotates vertically on a horizontally rotating platform. Due to Smart X-Mirror™, the scanning time for 360° scans and area scans is reduced enormously. Due to two internal lithium ion batteries, the duration amounts to at least 3.5 hours. The duration of the external batteries amounts to at least 6 hours.
