Abstract
In a measurement arrangement comprising a source of radiation (1), a subsequently arranged deflecting device (5), onto which a beam (2) emitted by the source of radiation (1) can be directed and which beam it deflects in different directions in a time-sequential manner, and further comprising first and second optical devices (9, 10) as well as a detector (6), the first optical device (9) deflecting each of the beams coming from the deflecting device (5) as a beam of measurement onto a point (P) on a specimen (11) to be arranged in a position for measurement, so that the angle of incidence of the beam of measurement on the specimen (11) varies as a function of the direction, and wherein specimen beams coming from the specimen due to the interaction of the beams of measurement with the specimen are deflected onto the detector (11) by means of the second optical device (10), at least one of said two optical devices (9, 10) comprises a diffractive element (7) for deflection, by which the beams incident from different directions are diffracted such that the diffracted beams of a predetermined order of diffraction are focussed in one point (P, D).

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
