• 10-Oct-18: Quiet, please! - The meaning and measure of noise in 3D topography data
• 24-Oct-18: Holography - Just a fancy name for interferometry ?
• 7-Nov-18: Where’s my Part? - Interferometric methods for measuring position, displacement and angle
• 21-Nov-18: Does interferometry work? - A critical look at the foundations of interferometric surface topography measurement
