The present invention provides an inspection method for inspecting defects of wafer surface. The method includes: encircling peripheral region of the wafer surface by a first light source set and a second light source set; using a control module to control the first light source set and the second light source set to irradiate the light alternately from different directions; using an image pick-up module to receive a scattered light image during each time when the first light source set or the second light source set irradiates the light on the wafer surface; and then using a process module to obtain an enhanced and clear defect image of wafer surface by processing each of the scattered light images.
