Abstract

A computer program product, a computerized method for configuring an inspection system and an inspection system. The inspection system may include an image acquisition module that comprises illumination optics and collection optics, a controller; and a processor. The image acquisition module may be arranged to acquire a group of first images of an object segment. Different first images of the group of first images are acquired while the inspection system is configured with different polarization configurations that belong to a first group of polarization configurations. The processor may be arranged to determine polarization parameters of different points within the object segment; wherein the determining is based on the group of first images and the different polarization configurations and calculate, based on the polarization parameters of the different points, a group of second images of the object segment that would be acquired when the inspection system is configured according to different polarization configurations that belong to a second group of polarization configurations.
