Abstract

An object to be inspected which is jointed to a circuit board is vibrated in a contactless manner by applying a gas jet or a magnetic force to the object, a laser beam is irradiated on the object, and a laser beam reflected from the object is detected by a linear sensor to observe a laser speckle pattern for the object. Quality of a joint junction state of the object is judged from the laser speckle pattern.
