Abstract

Provided is an inclination measuring device with excellent convenience.An inclination measuring device includes: an optical system (sensor head) configured to irradiate a measurement object with an irradiated light ray from a light source and receive a reflected light ray from a measurement surface; a light receiving unit including at least one spectroscope configured to separate the reflected light ray into wavelength components, and a detector in which a plurality of light receiving elements are disposed; a light guide including a plurality of cores; and a processor configured to calculate an inclination angle of the measurement surface based on reflected light rays with respect to a plurality of irradiated light rays with which a plurality of positions on the measurement surface are irradiated.
