  • Patent number: 4626101
    Abstract: The holding mechanism holds an object under inspection in a manner that the substantially entire surface of the object may relatively be scanned by a laser beam. A spherical integrating light collector has an opening disposed close to the inspected surface of the object held by the holding mechanism. A laser beam illuminating mechanism is coupled with the other end of the spherical integrating light collector, and illuminates the inspected surface of the object with the laser beam through the opening. A photo-electric converter receives the scattered light as is reflected by the inspected surface and collected by the spherical integrating light collector, and converts the scattered light into an electrical signal representing an amount of light. An analog to digital converter converts the electrical signal derived from the photo-electric converter into a digital signal. A peak detector receives the digital signal derived from the analog to digital converter to detect peak values at predetermined periods.
