Provided is an apparatus for projecting multiple beams to a structure on a workpiece comprising a first light source generating a first illumination beam and a second light source generating a second illumination beam, an illumination primary mirror configured to reflect the first illumination beam onto the structure of the workpiece at a first angle of incidence, generating a first detection beam, and configured to reflect the second illumination beam onto the workpiece at a second angle of incidence, generating a second detection beam, a separate illumination secondary mirror positioned relative to the illumination primary mirror so as make the first angle of incidence substantially the same or close to a calculated optimum first angle of incidence and make the second angle of incidence substantially the same or close to a calculated optimum second angle of incidence. The first and second detection beams are diffracted off the structure at the corresponding angle of incidence to a detection primary mirror, reflected onto a separate secondary detection mirror and other optical components on the detection path, and onto spectroscopic detectors.
