Abstract

A camera for visual inspection of defect on an object having a complicated shape is disclosed. This camera is provided with a reflecting mirror having two symmetrical reflecting surfaces to split incident light into two portions and direct them onto two linear image sensing devices mounted on inner surface of the camera body at separate positions. The received lights are converted into electric signals and after processing to obtain a difference signal, a signal indicating presence of a defect is obtained remarkably.
