ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for measuring a very small difference comprises a stage for receiving a sample to be measured, a light source illuminating the sample, an optical system for condensing light reflected from the sample, structure for intercepting a portion of the reflected light, a spectroscope for analyzing the condensed reflected light and a detector for detecting spectrum of the analyzed light. Light reflected only from a main surface of the sample is intercepted by the intercepting structure. Thus, the signal to noise ratio of the reflected light is reduced to enhance measurement capability.
