Infrared laser beam (11) is irradiated onto an integrated circuit (12) as a sample mounted on a sample stage (21) from an infrared laser beam source (23) through a microscope section body (24) and an objective lens (25). A constant voltage source (15) is connected to a power source terminal of the integrated circuit (12). A variation in a current due to a variation in a resistance of a wiring portion due to the irradiation is produced at a ground terminal of the integrated circuit (12). A current variation inspection section (17) detects the current variation. A system control/signal processing section (27) processes the signal and allows an image/waveform display section (28) to display a current image, a defect image or a current waveform. A defect of a wiring may be detected using visible light beam after localization of a suspected failure portion using infrared beam.
