    Thanks, TM51 - pardon me for not noticing your post earlier.

    The Spherical comparator and DIYed Spherometer I did were inspired from:
    Spherometer Construction

    I started with the comparator, whilst doing the 3 plate grind, needing to check which one was concave/ convex.
    It was very easy-to-use and trim to get very fine results (albeit not quantifiable in any units).
    The differences/ deviations of the three plates were "really low", but by how much?

    Then adding the 0,001 indicator on the frying pan remedied that lack a bit,
    giving "measures" though the surface/ DI tip noise was terrible for consistency.

    The ROM averaging out the surface noise is fast and reliable for my purposes (as of now, at least).

    Cheers

    Johan
