ABSTRACT:
An optical profilometer for surface contours subject to tilt is optically scanned to measure the surface contours. Surface tilt effects are obviated by slitted apertures in the paths of the reflection beams to pass the beams with large surface tilts (on the order of 30.degree.) without loss of sensitivity, accuracy, or precision.
