Abstract

Provided are a detection apparatus, a detection method and an optically transparent member, which can detect a decrease in a precision. A convolution is performed by a convolution portioncontained in an image processing portion, to acquire the distribution information indicating the light intensity distribution of a light beam, which is totally reflected at the interface and which is incident at a plurality of angles to an dielectric blockso as to be totally reflected at the interface of the dielectric block. A spatial frequency resolution is performed on the light intensity distribution indicated by the distribution information acquired, by a detection precision evaluating portioncontained in the image processing portion, to thereby derive the light intensity distribution of each spatial frequency of the light beam. The precision is detected by comparing the light intensity distribution derived, with a threshold value predetermined for each spatial frequency.
