ABSTRACT:
An inspecting system includes a light source, an irradiating optical system for irradiating a surface of an object such as a reticle or photomask with light from the light source, a detection optical system for detecting scattered light from the surface of the object, and a light blocking device provided substantially parallel to the surface of the object, the light blocking device having a first light transmitting portion for passing light coming from the light source toward the surface of the object and a second light transmitting portion for passing light coming from an irradiated position on the surface of the object toward the detection optical system.
