ABSTRACT:
In a substrate inspecting apparatus comprising a projecting section (4) in which light sources (8), (9) and (10) are provided for emitting colored lights of R, G and B in directions having different elevation angles, one or two color components which is/are greater than the mean value of the intensities of color components is/are extracted for an inspecting region including a soldered portion. Inclined surfaces adapted to the light sources (8), (9) and (10) are converted into monochromatic shaded images by the extraction processing. A boundary position between the inclined surfaces adapted to the light sources (8) and (9) are converted into one shaded image having a mixed color of red and green and the boundary position between the inclined surfaces adapted to the light sources (9) and (10) is converted into a different shaded image.
