Abstract: The light emitted from a focal position-detecting light source 38 and reflected from a reflector 12 is projected onto a screen 341, and a projected image on the screen 341 is detected by a focal position-detecting camera 35. Based on this projected image, the focal position-detecting light source 38 is moved by a position adjusting system 37 so as to place the focal position-detecting light source 38 at a focal position of the reflector 12, and the position of the focal position-detecting light source 38 at this time is detected as the focal position of the reflector 12.
