Topometric interferometry

Creators

Description

Characterization of convex spherical surfaces accurately, quickly, and reliably has been attained by applying the principles of topometric interferometry. A topometric interferometer can provide graphical and numerical information on surface height over an extended area. This article describes the design, construction, and test of a prototype instrument for inspection of spherical surfaces with diameters between 1 and 15.5 mm
