Abstract
A method for optical investigation of textured surfaces involves the steps of irradiation of radiation onto the surface to be investigated; reception of an image from at least part of the radiation irradiated onto the surface and reflected by the surface; location-resolved evaluation of the image recorded and determination of at least one value K which is characteristic of this image. A parameter G which is characteristic of the surface is determined while using the characteristic value K and while using at least one further property E known beforehand or determined of the surface.
