Abstract

An immersion probe includes a front plate having a circular shape in a plan view. A surface of the front plate that faces an object to be inspected is formed as a concave surface that is curved so as to be gradually depressed toward the center. Radii of curvature of a first imaginary contact line and a second imaginary contact line orthogonal to each other at the center of the concave surface and extending so as to curve along the concave surface are defined as a first radius of curvature and a second radius of curvature, respectively. The first radius of curvature and the second radius of curvature are different from each other. When an ultrasonic wave is emitted in a solvent, the ultrasonic wave focuses at two points.
