Method and apparatus for inspecting surface defects on the magnetic disk file memories

摘要

Method and apparatus for inspecting surface defects of a sample in which oblique illumination is applied onto a surface of the sample and in which illuminance of reflected beams generated from the surface is measured. Shading plate having double pinholes or double slits is used as means for shading a scattered beam from aventurine prominences of the sample surface to fully shade the scattered beam so that the inspection is accurately executed.
