Abstract

A composite interferometer system has a plurality of X and/or Y measuring axes which co-operate with an X and/or Y measuring mirror arranged on an object. The interferometer system also has at least one Z measuring axis, which extends partly in an XY plane and co-operates with Z measuring mirrors arranged on the object and Z reflectors. Thus, a larger number of more accurate and reliable measurements can be performed with the interferometer system.
