Abstract: A stylus support carries a stylus having a stylus tip for following a workpiece surface which rotates relative to the stylus support. A transducer senses a displacement of the stylus tip as follows the surface. A support structure includes a mounting arm and an attitude arm carrying the stylus support and mounted to the mounting arm by a kinematic coupling so as to be moveable between the first attitude in which a stylus extends in a first direction and a second attitude in which the stylus extends in a direction transverse to the first, the movement being substantially centred at the stylus tip. The coupling comprises protrusions and recesses provided on opposing faces of the attitude and mounting arms, the protrusions and recesses being configured to cooperate to constrain relative motion of the opposing faces when the attitude arm is moved into one of the first and second attitudes.

Abstract: Light is directed along a sample path towards the sample surface and along a reference path towards a reference surface such that light reflected by the sample surface and light reflected by the reference surface interfere. Relative movement is effected between the sample surface and the reference surface along a measurement path and the light intensity resulting from interference between light reflected from the reference surface and regions of the sample surface is sensed at intervals along the measurement path to provide a number of sets of light intensity data values with each light intensity data value representing the sensed light intensity associated with a corresponding one of said regions. The sets of light intensity data are processed to determine a position along the measurement path at which a predetermined feature occurs in the light intensity data for each sensed region and to enhance image data representing the intensity data to facilitate the detection by a user of the interference fringes.

Abstract: A broad band surface profiling apparatus has a reference calibrator for calibrating the apparatus to compensate for surface features of the reference surface. A user is instructed to conduct a number of calibration measurement operations using a calibration sample having a calibration surface to obtain calibration surface topography data for the calibration sample. At each calibration measurement operation, an image representing the calibration surface topography data is displayed to the user and the user has the option either to accept or reject the calibration surface topography data represented by the displayed image. The reference calibrator has a surface topography data processor (53) and a mean surface calculator (54) for calculating mean surface topography data using the processed calibration surface topography data accepted by the user to provide reference surface features data. A reference surface features remover (37) is provided for adjusting surface topography data obtained for a sample surface in accordance with the reference surface features data.
