INSPECTION DEVICE AND INSPECTION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18275945 titled 'INSPECTION DEVICE AND INSPECTION METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The inspection device described in the abstract includes a light source with a phosphor and a photodetector to detect reflected light from an inspection object. The spectral distribution of the inspection light has at least one maximum value derived from fluorescence emitted by the phosphor, with the maximum value falling within a wavelength range of 600 nm to 750 nm. The device ensures that the spectral intensity at the maximum value is the largest, with the spectral intensity in longer wavelengths being at least 20% of the maximum value but less than the maximum value, and the spectral intensity in a range of 500 nm to 550 nm being less than 20% of the maximum value.

Original Abstract Submitted

Provided is an inspection device including: a light source including a phosphor; and a photodetector, and detecting, using the photodetector, reflected light of the inspection light reflected by the inspection object. A spectral distribution of the inspection light has at least one maximum value derived from fluorescence emitted by the phosphor, and the maximum value is within a wavelength range of 600 nm or more and 750 nm or less. When Pmax is set as a spectral intensity at the maximum value where the spectral intensity is largest at the at least one maximum value, a largest value of the spectral intensity in a wavelength range longer than 750 nm is 20% or more of Pmax and less than Pmax, and the spectral intensity within a wavelength range of 500 nm or more and 550 nm or less is less than 20% of Pmax.
