Abstract
A geometrical optical model for the image formation of Makyoh (or magic-mir ror) topography is presented. General relations are given on the optical se ttings. The basic equations of the imaging are derived. Fundamental feature s of the imaging are pointed out, and optimum working conditions are establ ished. Simulations of the image of an isolated defect (hillock or depressio n) and a periodic (sinusoidal) surface are presented for different optical settings. Supporting experimental images are presented.
