Abstract

A method for qualifying optics () of a projection exposure tool () for microlithography. The optics include () at least one mirror element (-to--to-) with a reflective coating () disposed on the latter. The method includes: irradiating electromagnetic radiation () of at least two different wavelengths onto the optics (), a penetration depth of the radiation into the coating () of the mirror element varying between the individual wavelengths, taking an optical measurement on the optics () for each of the wavelengths, and evaluating the measurement results for the different wavelengths taking into consideration a respective penetration depth of the radiation into the coating () of the mirror element for each of the different wavelengths.
