Abstract
A method for surface inspection, comprising the step of projecting at least two laser beams with different wavelengths to a same point to be inspected via a same projecting lens, the step of setting incident angles of the two laser beams so that fluctuations of values of reflectivity of the laser beams are complementary to each other, and the step of detecting reflected scattered light components.
