Abstract:
1. An inspection device, comprising: an imaging unit for imaging a specimen; an imaging control unit for dividing an imaging area for the specimen into a plurality of divided imaging areas, controlling the imaging unit to image each of the plurality of divided imaging areas so as to acquire an integrated image of the imaging area; a characteristics measurement unit for measuring spectral characteristics of the specimen; a measurement control unit for controlling the characteristics measurement unit to selectively execute measurements synchronically with the imaging executed by the imaging control unit; an inspection information acquisition unit for acquiring inspection information related to the specimen; a condition determination unit for determining measurement information related to a number of measurement spots acquired by the characteristics measurement unit for the divided imaging areas and imaging information related to a number of imaging spots acquired by the imaging unit, based on the inspection information; wherein the imaging control unit controls the imaging by the imaging unit based on the measurement information; and the measurement control unit controls the measurement by the characteristics measurement unit based on the measurement information.
