Abstract
A subject positioning device for an interferometer includes a positioning mechanism for positioning a test surface within an axial extent of interference positions in the object beam path, which is less than double of a thickness of the subject, and at least one positioning lens placed between a beam splitter and the axial extent of interference positions in the object beam path with a focal point located within the axial extent of interference positions.
