A phase-detection interferometric microscope (PDIM) is acquired.                This instrument measures vertical heights over a modestly large                 surface area using the technique of optical phase-measurement                   interferometry, a fast, non-contact optical technique allowing                  real-time imaging of variations in surface topology with a                      resolution of about 0.2nm.                                                                                                                                      Time-resolved PDIM imaging will be used in three different                      electrochemical experiments:  preferential anodic dissolution of                layered metal dichalcogenide semiconductors at surface defects;                 surface morphology of activated glassy carbon electrodes in situ;               and oxide growth on polycrystalline metal substrates.  The                      instrument also has potential application to problems in surface                chemistry, microelectronics, and polymer science.
