Abstract

See full text

The method serves for the interferometric measurement of non-rotationally symmetric wavefront errors on a specimen . The specimen is brought into a number of rotational positions, at least one measurement result being determined in each of the rotational positions and a mathematical evaluation of all measurement results is performed. The measurement results (M.sub.1 . . . M.sub.m; N.sub.1 . . . N.sub.n) of each of the measurement series (M, N) are determined respectively in mutually equidistant rotational positions of the specimen . The measurement results (M.sub.1 . . . M.sub.m, N.sub.1 . . . N.sub.n) of each of the at least two measurement series (M, N) are evaluated independently of one another for non-rotationally symmetric wavefront errors (.sub.m, .sub.n) on the specimen, and a difference is computationally rotated m or n times and the results averaged out. At least one of the wavefront errors (.sub.m, .sub.n) is corrected with the result (<.sub.m-.sub.n>.sub.m or <.sub.m-.sub.n>.sub.n) averaged in this way.
