Provided is a device for inspecting defects, which can inspect a pattern of a top layer with a high S/N ratio. In the device, diffracted light L2 produced by a wafer 2 being a substrate which is illuminated by illumination light L1 is guided and collected by a light receiving optical system 4 composed of a lens 41 and a lens 42, and the diffracted light L2 forming an image of the wafer 2 is focused on an image pickup device 5 used as an imaging means. The image acquired by the image pickup device 5 is subjected to an image processing step carried out by an image processing device 6, thereby detecting the defect. A polarizer 7 is adjusted so that the illumination light L1 illuminates the wafer 2 in S polarization. Because the S polarization makes a surface reflectivity higher, the amount of light reaching a base portion is reduced. Accordingly, the amount of light reflected by the top layer can be made larger than that reflected by the base portion, by using the S polarization for the illumination, thereby enabling the defect of the top layer to be inspected with the high S/N ratio.

In the imaging space provided by a panoramic imaging apparatus, a phantom is arranged. The phantom is located to a predetermined tomographic plane and includes markers which image known positional information with an X-ray beam. The X-ray beam from an X-ray source is acquired as X-ray transmission data by a detector, and a panoramic image is produced using the data. Based on known positional information of the markers and information of marker positions in the panoramic image, distance information (Rs, Rd) between the X-ray tube and the detector and height information (B1) of the X-ray tube to the detector are calculated. From this calculated results and the acquired data, parameters (Δx/ΔFi, θ, Δθ/ΔFi, D, A, CX, CY) defining positional relationships among the X-ray tube, the detector, and the tomographic plane are calculated such that amounts of changes in the position connecting the X-ray tube and the detector are considered in the parameters. This allows the parameters to be calibrated for 3D image reconstruction.

The technical problem to be solved of the invention is to provide a method and a system for automatically checking a topology in an automatic test, which have the advantages of simplicity and high detection efficiency. The method for automatically checking the topology in the automatic test comprises the following steps of: selecting a link of test equipment and a topology exchanger from link information in turn by using a control center; configuring an IP address of a three-layer interface, which is connected with the topology exchanger, on the test equipment; and controlling the test equipment to PING an IP address which is in the same network segment with the configured IP address but does not exist so as to trigger the test equipment to send an address resolution protocol (ARP) request message to the topology exchanger. The test equipment PINGs the IP address which does not exist to determine whether the link between the topology exchanger and the test equipment is normal or not. In the invention, the sending of the address resolution protocol (ARP) request message is triggered by using PING, the topology exchanger learns a media access control (MAC) address of the test equipment from the ARP request message and the control center determines whether the link is normal or not.
