Abstract: A method, system and computer readable medium for providing information about a region of a sample. The method includes (i) obtaining, by an imager, multiple images of the region; wherein the multiple images differ from each other by at least one parameter (ii) receiving or generating multiple reference images; (iii) generating multiple difference images that represent differences between the multiple images and the multiple reference images; (iv) calculating a set of region pixel attributes, (v) calculating a set of noise attributes, based on multiple sets of region pixels attributes of the multiple region pixels; and (vi) determining for each region pixel, whether the region pixel represents a defect based on a relationship between the set of noise attributes and the set of region pixel attributes of the pixel.

Abstract: An inspection system includes a first focusing unit configured to perform fast focus changes to a first focusing function applied to an incident light beam. A traveling lens acousto-optic device is arranged to receive the light beam focused by the first focusing function and produce focused spots using a plurality of traveling lenses generated in response to radio frequency signals. The traveling lenses apply a second focusing function and the traveling lens acousto-optic device is arranged to alter the second focusing function at a fast rate. The inspection system also includes optics arranged to direct the focused spots onto an inspected object and to direct radiation from the inspected object to a sensor.
