Abstract:
In order for an exterior inspection of a substrate to be performed effectively, an inspection device (100) for performing an exterior inspection of a substrate (10) is provided with a camera (20) for capturing an image of a pattern (12) formed on the surface of the substrate (10), and a control device (32) for controlling the camera (20). The control device (32) is connected to a storage device (34) in which an image processing program (35) for processing the image data captured by the camera (20) is stored, and the control device (32) is connected to a brightness data calculation device (36) for calculating brightness data on the basis of the image data captured by the camera (20). The control device (32) is connected to a resolution altering device (38) which can alter the resolution of the brightness data calculated by the brightness data calculation device (36), and the image processing program (35) comprises a function for determining whether or not a defect is included in the pattern, on the basis of the brightness data at the resolution altered by the resolution altering device (38).
