Abstract
In a substrate processing apparatus according to the invention, a light source and an imager are arranged at a position distant from an object to be imaged such as a substrate, whereas a head unit is arranged at an imaging position. Diffused light is generated by diffusing and reflecting illumination light from the light source and illuminated a peripheral edge part of the object to be imaged. Further, reflected light from the peripheral edge part illuminated with the diffused light is guided to the imager, whereby the peripheral edge part is imaged by the imager.
