Abstract: System, computer readable medium and method. The system includes (i) a data obtaining module arranged to obtain data about at least one portion of an inspected article; and (ii) a processor arranged to perform at least one processing operation of the data out of: (a) processing the data to provide the inspection recipe; and (b) processing the data, while utilizing the inspection recipe, to detect defects; wherein the inspection recipe comprises multiple zones of multiple types of zones; wherein a zone of a first type of zones differs from a zone of a second type of zone.

Abstract: A method for measuring a depth of a narrow hole, the method includes: obtaining from a chromatic confocal sensor a group of height measurements taken along an imaginary line that crosses the narrow hole; ignoring height measurements attributed to optical artifacts and blind measurement points and calculating an inverted parabolic estimate of a sub-group of the height measurements; wherein a top of the parabolic estimate is representative of a height of a bottom of the narrow hole.
