干涉量度学在检查光学透镜和反射镜、考察金属球面的显微形态、生物学、合成纤维工业、测量气体的折射率、气体动力学以及激光全息学等方面都有广泛的应用。近十年来,干涉显微镜主要为冶金学和生物学工作者所使用。除了少数情况(例如金刚石和云母的工业应用等很有限的研究工作)以外,干涉显微镜还没有引起矿物学和岩石学工作者正当的注意和重视。事实上,干涉显微镜 Interferometry is widely used in examining optical lenses and mirrors, in examining the microscopic morphology of metal spheres, in biology, in the synthetic fiber industry, in the measurement of refractive index of gases, in gas dynamics, and in laser holography. In the last decade, interference microscopes have been used mainly by metallurgy and biologists. Except for a few cases, such as the limited research work on the industrial applications of diamond and mica, interference microscopy has not received legitimate attention and attention from mineralogical and petrological workers. In fact, interference microscope
