Ripple measurement :
Airylab has developped a procedure to measure surface ripple on flat components either by transmission or reflexion.
The surface that can be measured in one pass varies between 1 to 6mm width depending on the set up. That gives a spatial sampling starting from 19µm per point.
Below are two video examples :
The first one shows a coating defect 0.05mm wide for 60nm deep :
The second one is a small scratch between 15 and 25nm deep :
