Abstract:
A plurality of targets including a second population superimposed on a first population are formed. In the first target the second population has an asymmetry with respect to the first population. In the second target the second population has a different asymmetry with respect to the first population. Reflected radiation is detected from both the targets and used to determine different characteristics of the underlying populations.
