Abstract:
Provided is an end face inspection device capable of inspecting different end face shapes without replacing an adapter for attachment. An end face inspection device includes: an optical system that forms an image of an end face of a test object, which is fixed at a predetermined position, at a position of an image sensor; and a focus detection section that acquires image data, which is output by the image sensor, and determines whether or not the end face is brought into focus in the image data. The focus detection section acquires a plurality of the image data pieces, in which parts of the end face are brought into focus by changing a focal position of the optical system by a predetermined distance at a time, and acquires focused image data by synthesizing the respective parts brought into focus in the plurality of image data pieces.

Claim (Index 2):
The end face inspection device according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the focus detection section further detects whether or not the end face is inclined on the basis of a brightness of the image of the end face by changing a direction of irradiation of illumination light illuminated on the end face, acquires the plurality of the image data pieces in which the parts of the end face are brought into focus by changing the focal position of the optical system by a predetermined distance at a time under a condition of detection of inclination of the end face, and acquires focused image data by synthesizing the respective parts brought into focus in the plurality of image data pieces.
