1. A measuring system, the measuring system comprising:
a probe for measuring a signal at a measuring point and
a measuring apparatus remote from the probe,
a mechanical stabilizing device adapted to mechanically equalize unwanted movement of the probe,
wherein the probe comprises:
a probe tip adapted to contact a measuring point for measuring an electric signal;
an image capturing device adapted to capture image data of the probe tip and an area around the probe tip, wherein the image capturing device comprises multiple optical systems capturing two almost similar images from different points of view to obtain three-dimensional information of a captured field of view, each of the multiple optical systems having different optical properties; and
an image transmission interface adapted to transmit the captured image data to the measuring apparatus remote from the probe;
wherein the measuring apparatus remote from the probe comprising:
an image receiving interface adapted to receive the image data transmitted by the image transmission interface of the probe.
