Abstract: The effect of optical treatment of the surfaces of a paratellurite single crystal corresponding to the (100), (110), and (001) crystallographic planes was studied. Using a NanoMap WLI1000 optical profilometer, the relief layer of the sample surface (paratellurite single crystal) was controlled. To study the influence of the polishing method, the process was carried out using three techniques – neutral polishing, acid polishing and alkaline polishing. The characteristics of paratellurite surfaces after grinding and polishing are determined. Conclusions are drawn about the predominant use of polishing with chemical reagents. The anisotropy of surfaces differing in crystallographic directions on the speed of grinding and polishing and on the characteristics of the surfaces is shown. Studies of the structure of ground and polished surfaces corresponding to crystallographic planes have shown that the maximum roughness height is observed for the (001) plane. The smoothest surface is achieved for surfaces coinciding with the crystallographic plane (110).
