Metrology
Metrology Myths:
Top myths of modern metrology:
- Myth #1: Buying additional standard interferometers substantially increases your metrology capabilities.
- Myth #2: If a subaperture measurement looks good, the entire part will be in spec.
- Myth #3: If measurement says it’s good, the part is good.
- Myth #4: Pixel Scale = Resolution
