...an interferometer with which you check flatness visually. I tend to come up with "interferometer for..." - is there a more compact expression for this device? All suggestions welcome, thanks!

visual inspection interferometer
I suggest this, since Sichtprüfung is "visual inspection" (or possibly visual examination).

was my first instinct and there are lots of hits for this on google, but I would like confirmation from colleagues, if it's the same thing :)

I understand. In this case, I would suggest \"interferometer for visual inspection\". I\'m afraid you can\'t go around the \"for\" variant

Sichtpr�finterferometer
interferometer for visual interpretation
I'm afraid there is probably no way around describing it. The interferometer on the following website is quite similar to the one in your text, and it's called interferometer for visual interpretation of flatness (quite a mouthful, I know).
