A scanning laser contaminant and defect detector for reflective surfaces, having a light collector for increasing sensitivity to scattered light. The collector is preferably one quadrant of a spherical shell cradled between V-shaped reflective side walls. The collector has beam entrance and exit ports, as well as a detector port where a light detector resides. The collector is placed in proximity to a surface to be inspected. Light scattered from the test surface is directed to the reflective crown surface, then to the reflective side walls and ultimately to the detector.
