It is shown that point diffraction interferometry (PDI) can very conveniently be used for the study and analysis of transparent objects and for the detection of wave front distortion caused by a perturbation of refractive index in the testing path. A very simple method of fabricating these PDI plates is also described using mercury micro-balls.
