An experimental and theoretical study of surface step heights on a basal-faceted sapphire ribbon grown using the Stepanov's method was carried out. Obtained results were compared with atomic force microscopy data. We established that the step heights on the order of 1 μm could be determined using simple in-line phase-contrast imaging setup. Keywords: synchrotron radiation, phase contrast, microrelief, sapphire, Stepanov's method.
