ABSTRACT:
Systems configured to provide illumination of a specimen during inspection are provided. One system includes catoptric elements configured to direct light from a light source to a line across the specimen at an oblique angle of incidence. The catoptric elements include positive and negative elements configured such that pupil distortions of the positive and negative elements are substantially canceled. Another system includes a dioptric element and a catoptric element. The dioptric element and the catoptric element are configured to direct light from a light source to a line across the specimen at an oblique angle of incidence. The dioptric and catoptric elements are also configured such that pupil distortions of the dioptric and catoptric elements are substantially canceled.
