Abstract

See full text

A metrological apparatus includes an optical measurement system (1) such as a coherence scanning interferometer operable to obtain measurement data representative of a surface of a workpiece and a rotation device (15) to effect relative rotation between the optical measurement system and the workpiece about a measurement axis to enable a plurality of measurement data sets to be obtained with each measurement data set being obtained by the optical measurement system at a respective one of a number of different relative rotational orientation s of the optical measurement system and the workpiece. A data corrector (323) is provided to obtain correction data to enable correction of a measurement data set. The correction data may be an average of the plurality of measurement data sets.
