Abstract
Stylus surface profiling instruments have found application in the characterization of microroughness. Al-Jumaily [1] has compared data obtained using a stylus profilometer and an optical scatterometer to characterize a metal surface. The stylus profilometer data was found to be inconsistent with the optical data. In resolving the discrepancy, the "transfer functions" of the instruments were identified as the source of the disagreement.
