Abstract

A surface inspecting apparatus generates an inspecting width gate signal by in a procedure wherein when the subject matter is subjected to the scanning via the light beam, a counting means digitizes the detected position of both the front and rear ends of the subject and then an operating means calculates values which indicate the positions included within the range between both of the ends, thus generating the inspecting width gate signal. Consequently, it is possible to inspect any subject matter without manually resetting the effective inspecting range whenever a subject matter changes in width.
