A measurement method for measuring a wavefront aberration of a target
optical system using an interference pattern formed by a light from a
first image side slit, and a light from a second image side slit, the
first and second image side slits being located at an image side of the
target optical system, the first image side slit having, in a shorter
direction, a width equal to or smaller than a diffraction limit of the
target optical system, and the second image side slit having, in a
shorter direction, a width greater than the diffraction limit of the
target optical system includes the steps of obtaining three or more
primary wavefronts of the target optical system from different
measurement directions, and calculating a wavefront aberration of the
target optical system based on the three or more primary wavefronts
obtained by the obtaining step.
