Abstract: A device for inspecting a surface of an object, in particular a reflective or transparent surface, including an illuminating apparatus with which the surface can be illuminated, a measuring apparatus which senses light reflected at the surface, and a vapor-application apparatus which is designed to apply vapor to the surface. To achieve an efficient application of vapor, it is provided that the vapor-application apparatus includes a nozzle, a vaporization chamber having an enclosure, and a heating apparatus. The nozzle protrudes into the vaporization chamber in order to introduce a liquid into the vaporization chamber, and the vaporization chamber includes a vapor outlet.
