A system and method for detecting defects on a reticle is disclosed. The method may comprise determining a best focus setting for imaging the reticle; obtaining a first image of the reticle, the first image obtained at the best focus setting plus a predetermined offset; obtaining a second image of the reticle, the second image obtained at the best focus setting minus the predetermined offset; generating a differential image, the differential image representing a difference between the first image and the second image; and identifying a defect on the reticle based on the differential image. The method in accordance with the present disclosure may also be utilized for detecting defects on at least a portion of the reticle.
