Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To miniaturize a device while making effective use of a stable area of a fluorescent lamp by using a fluorescent lamp bent tube formed by bending both end unstable areas of the fluorescent lamp from a center stable area, as a light source, and disposing the center stable area in opposition to an inspection area. SOLUTION: A light source 12 and a light receiving part 13 are enclosed in a casing 11, and a dust protective transparent plate 14 is provided at an opening of the easing 11 opposed to an inspection area in which an inspected object 100 is positioned. The light source 12 is formed of a fluorescent lamp bent tube 21, and irradiates light to the surface of the inspected object 100 positioned in the inspection area. The light receiving part 13 is formed by series- arranging a plurality of light receiving elements 31 and optical path tubes 32 corresponding to the respective light receiving elements 31, on the side of the light source 12. On the basis of the reflected light quantity of each part of the surface of the inspected object 100 detected by the light receiving parts 13, the reflected light quantity is compared with a reference value previously stored on each part of the ideal surface of the inspected object 100, to judge the surface state of the inspected object 100.
