Claim:
1. A detection apparatus, comprising: a frame including first and second supports on tops of two sides respectively, first and second sliding members on the first and second supports respectively, two front interconnecting members having two ends releasably secured to front ends of the supports respectively, and two rear interconnecting members having two ends releasably secured to rear ends of the supports respectively; a plurality of sets of transmitters and receivers wherein the transmitters are equally spaced on the first sliding member, the receivers are equally spaced on the second sliding member, the transmitter and receiver of each set of the plurality of sets of transmitters and receivers are at the same elevation, and a distance between the transmitter and the receiver of each set is between 1,100 mm and 2,500 mm; first drive means for moving the first sliding member back and forth; and second drive means for moving the second sliding member back and forth; wherein the first and second sliding members are configured to synchronously move toward either a rear end of the frame in a first direction or a front end of the frame in a second direction; wherein at least one of the transmitter and the receiver is configured to deviate from a straight line interconnecting the transmitter and the receiver by no more than 10 μm; wherein during the movements of the first and second sliding members, each transmitter emits laser beam toward the receiver of the same set by passing through a space above a photoresist-coated optical glass by 100 μm, no signal is generated at the receiver if the laser beam is not blocked, and a signal is generated at the receiver if the laser beam is blocked by at least one of a plurality of particles on the photoresist-coated optical glass; and wherein the movement of the first and second sliding members in the first direction is reversed to the second direction after reaching a predetermined position at the rear end of the frame.
