Abstract

Apparatus for simultaneously optically inspecting top and bottom surfaces of a workpiece comprise upper and lower test heads, each head comprising at least one laser for providing a laser beam that scans its associated workpiece surface and at least one detector for detecting reflected laser light. The directions of the laser beams are selected so as to reduce or prevent cross-talk interference between the upper and lower test heads.
