Hope this helps.
Hello
If your film is fixed on a substrate (name of your uploaded file), you can use profilometric or interferometric techniques of thickness measurement. These methods can provide thickness distribution over relatively large areas. Also mechanical thickness meters are available, but they are not usable for very thin films.

A better method than UV-vis for measuring the RI and thickness of thin films is ellipsometry. Confocal microscopy and SEM can also be useful.
