Abstract: A projection inspector which projects the image of an object being measured onto a screen for a visual inspection. It may be used with a microscope for observation in detail. Unlike the conventional projection inspector, the inspector fully exhibits high degree of measuring function even at the time of inspecting an object having a surface color and shape that can be difficultly imaged, and projects the object's image onto the screen to inspect it, and further enables the object's image to be more correctly observed or inspected using a microscope.
