Claim 6:
7. The method of claim 6, further comprising:
illuminating the object with the test optical-beam, the plurality of surface-regions reflecting the test optical-beam as the reflected optical-beam having a plurality of reflected-beam regions each corresponding to a one of the plurality of surface-regions;
illuminating a reference sensor, located at an output port of the interferometer, with the reference beam propagating from a reference mirror of the interferometer, the reference sensor including a plurality of reference-sensor pixels;
splitting the reflected optical-beam into the first part of the reflected optical-beam and a second part of the reflected optical-beam;
illuminating the reference sensor with the first part of the reflected optical-beam, each of the plurality of reference-sensor pixels being illuminated by a respective one of the plurality of reflected-beam regions; and
illuminating the image sensor with the second part of the reflected optical-beam, each of the plurality of image-sensor pixels being illuminated by a respective one of the plurality of reflected-beam regions, and therefore being mapped to the one of the plurality of reference-sensor pixels illuminated by the respective one of the plurality of reflected-beam regions.
