摘要:
In optical measurement utilizing total reflection, various types of measurement are selectively performed. The invention provides an optical measurement apparatus using total reflection, including a light source, a measurement optical system, and a light detector. The measurement optical system is an infinity-corrected positive lens formed of an optical member having a planar surface orthogonal to an optical axis of the measurement optical system at a front focal position. One side of the optical axis of the measurement optical system is used as a projection optical system for radiating measurement light onto a specimen, and another side is used as a photometric optical system for acquiring reflected light from the specimen. The light source is disposed at an entrance pupil position on the projection optical system side or at a position conjugate to the entrance pupil position and moves in an entrance pupil plane or in a plane conjugate to the entrance pupil position, along a straight line orthogonal to the optical axis, while a distance from the optical axis is detected. The light detector is disposed at an exit pupil position on the photometric optical system side or at a position conjugate to the exit pupil position. The optical-measurement apparatus comprises a light-source changing unit configured to change the position or shape of the light source.

In order to be able to take an image of a specimen emitting low light in a short exposure time by a cooled CCD at about 0° C., a low-light specimen image pickup unit has an imaging optical system forming a specimen image of a specimen having a point light source emitting a low light, and the low-light specimen image pickup unit further has an image pickup unit having a plurality of pixels receiving incident light, for taking an image corresponding to the specimen image. In the low-light specimen image pickup unit, the imaging optical system is telecentric to a side of the specimen image of the imaging optical system, and condenses the low light emitted from the point light source to form an Airy disk of a size which is substantially the same as a pixel of the pixels, or which is smaller than the pixel. Here, the pixel receives the low light emitted from the point light source.

A stereomicroscope comprising a pair of observation systems each comprising an objective lens and an eyepiece lens, a pair of light sources disposed above the objective lens for emitting a pair of light beams through a pair of beam splitters into the observation systems coaxially therewith, pairs of polarizers disposed on the side of the eyepiece lenses and the side of the light sources respectively so as to have polarizing surfaces perpendicular to each other, a quarter wavelength plate interposed between the objective lens and a sample to be observed, and a pair of light beam deflecting members disposed between the beam splitters and the objective lens. The polarizers disposed on the side of the eyepiece lenses are removable from optical paths and eyepiece tubes are arranged with the polarizers disposed on the side of the eyepiece lenses interposed between the eyepiece tubes and an intermediate tube containing the pair of light beam deflecting members and the polarizers disposed on the side of the eyepiece lenses. This stereomicroscope permits locating eye points thereof at low positions close to microscopists and quickly switching microscopic modes from one to another.

This visual inspection apparatus has a macro-inspection section and a micro-inspection section. In the micro-inspection section, a inspection stage and a microscope are loaded into a loading plate. The inspection stage can be moved in any directions of the X, Y, and Z directions, and can also be rotated in the θ direction. Moreover, a peripheral edge inspection section that acquires an enlarged image of a peripheral edge of wafer W is fixed to the loading plate. The peripheral edge inspection section is arranged so as to image the peripheral edge of wafer W held by the inspection stage.

There is an indicating device constituted so as to be apt to indicate the data such as the magnification ratio of an objective lens, the value of NA, the data or the like in the visual field of a microscope and at the same time to record these data in photograph. This indicating device is provided with a display means (17) able to indicate various sorts of data informations through the data processor (16) and polarizing prisms (10, 11) arranged between the objective lens (9), display means (17), photographing lens (14) and eyepiece (13) to divide the light bundle from the objective lens (9) and the light bundle from the data display means (17) respectively and to make them advance to the eyepiece (13) and photographing lens (14), and the data informations displayed on the display means (17) are imaged on the image forming face (12) inside the eyepiece (13) and on the dry-plate (15). This indicating device may use, instead of the above mentioned polarizing prism, the optical fiber bundle (19) arranged between the data display means (17) and eyepiece barrel (22) to image the data information displayed on the display means (17) on the image forming face (12) inside the eyepiece (13).

摘要:
A stage driving device for optical examining apparatus has a pair of moving beds capable of traveling in directions perpendicular to each other, straight guide members mounted on the moving beds, driving knobs coaxially arranged to move the moving beds, and a transmission mechanism converting a rotary motion of each of the driving knobs into a rectilinear motion of each of the moving beds. By the operation of the transmission mechanism, the movements of the moving beds can be made in two directions perpendicular to each other, independently or simultaneously. Additionally, the wear of parts of the straight guide members and the transmission mechanism is minimal and the use of inexpensive parts and the ease of assembly makes it possible to reduce the cost of the entire device.
