Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a circular diameter measurement device capable of correcting a detection error of an edge of a circular specimen, thereby accurately measuring a diameter of the circular specimen. CONSTITUTION:A circular specimen 1 is placed on one face of an X-Y stage 2 and is illuminated by an illumination optical system provided on the other face side of the X-Y stage by penetrating the stage. A light from the illumination optical system is focused on a light-reception face of a photodetector 6 via a pin hole 5 by penetrating the stage 2 to be subjected to the photoelectric conversion. The output signal of the photodetector 6 is transmitted to an edge- detection device 9. When the stage 2 is driven by a stage driving device 12 so that an edge of the specimen 1 is positioned on a central axis of the pin hole 5, the edge-detection device 9 outputs an edge-detection signal to be inputted to an operator 11 via a counter 10. The operator 11 references a correction value stored in a memory 13 to correct the detection error of the edge-detection device 9, thereby obtaining an accurate diameter of the circular specimen 1.
