Abstract
The effects of the measurement transfer function in a Wyko-like profiling microscope have been explored analytically, and large attenuations found over the upper half Hof the optical bandpass. In the case of corrugated surfaces these effects can be eliminated using a universal inverse-filtering routine. In the case of isotropically-rough surfaces the effects are larger, and although restoration is possible, no universal filter exists.
