Abstract:
A position determination method for determining a position of a point on a flat surface by observing the position of the point and a position of a fiducial portion on the flat surface in an image of a measuring system provided with an imaging optical system using coaxial episcopic illumination is provided. The fiducial portion is in the shape of a pillar at least in the basal portion and provided with an inclined surface surrounding the foot of the pillar. The method includes the steps of determining a position of the outer boundary of the foot from the boundary between the inclined surface and the flat surface in the image; determining the position of the fiducial portion from the position of the outer boundary of the foot; and determining the position of the point with respect to the position of the fiducial portion.

Claim (Index 7):
An element provided with at least two fiducial portions and an optical element, the fiducial portions and the optical element being installed on a flat surface or a plurality of flat surfaces that are parallel to one another wherein each fiducial portion is in the shape of a pillar at least in the basal portion and provided with a inclined surface surrounding the foot of the pillar and an angle of the inclined surface with the flat surface on which said each fiducial portion is installed ranges from 20 degrees to 70 degrees.
