1. A layer direction determining method for a multilayer electronic component, the layer direction determining method comprising:
measuring a value of an amount of infrared energy detected from an area including an observation face where a multilayer electronic component in which conductor layers and nonconductor layers are layered is observed under a measurement condition that is set in advance; determining a threshold value corresponding to the measurement condition; comparing the threshold value with the measured value of the detected amount of infrared energy; and determining a layer direction of the conductor layers in the multilayer electronic component on the basis of the result of the comparison of the threshold value with the measured value of the detected amount of infrared energy.
