    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To inspect a large test surface without stopping measurement of individual areas, by detecting the presence of a surface defect and judging and outline of the individual surface defect the position of which is specified. SOLUTION: An upper driving motor 3c turning an upper lead screw 3d is driven in a wide area scan interferometer 2, and a lower driving motor 3e turning a glower lead screw 3f is driven in a narrow area scan interferometer 2a. Each interferometer is moved on a pair of rails 3b in a radial direction to a surface 2b of a disk 2c. The wide area scan interferometer 2 is used to detect a defect of the surface 2b, which forms and interferogram along a linear CCD array. A bright area corresponds to a defect whether or not the defect rises form the surface 2b. When the disk 2c keeps rotating, the narrow area scan interferometer 2a is operated. The wide area scan interferometer 2 completely transverses the surface 2b and stores a position of the detected defect. The narrow area scan interferometer 2a generates an outline of the defect. Alternatively, both interferometers are used simultaneously to drive the narrow area scan interferometer 2a quickly to the position of the detected defect.
