  • Patent number: 11846498
    Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to detect defects in a structure accurately in a non-contact manner. An optical path length converting unit (320) is disposed between a specimen being inspected and an image capturing element (310) in such a way as to cover part of a field of view of the image capturing element (310). An image analyzing unit (330) uses images captured by the image capturing element (310) to calculate amounts of displacement within the surface of the specimen, obtained using two fields of view of the image capturing element (310) not covered/covered by the optical path length converting unit (320). An out-of-plane displacement calculating unit (340) calculates an out-of-plane displacement of the specimen on the basis of the calculated amounts of displacement.
