Abstract
A method of determining surface properties is provided, in which radiation is irradiated onto a first region of a surface to be examined, then at least some of the radiation irradiated onto the first region and returned by the latter is detected, and a measured value characteristic of this returned radiation is output. In a further step, the radiation is irradiated onto a second region of the surface and once again at least some of the radiation irradiated onto the second region and returned by the latter is detected, and a second measured value characteristic of this radiation is output. Finally, a result value is output which is characteristic of a relationship between the first measured value and the second measured value.
