Abstract

PURPOSE:To measure lengths on an X-line and a Y-line passed through a dent only in one direction by providing dent image rotating means for rotating an image of a dent. CONSTITUTION:A cylinder 52 having a window 54 is so rotatably disposed in a cylinder 51 as to sequentially take first, second and third rotating positions around an optical axis 44a by using a bearing 53. A reflecting mirror 42 is fixed toward a reflecting mirror 41 side and the window 54 side and disposed in the cylinder 52. A reflecting mirror 44 is fixed toward a dent image projecting plate 32 and the window 54 side and disposed. With such a structure, even if lengths on an X-X' line passing a dent 7 on a sample 1 or a length on a Y-Y' line is measured, the measurement can be selectively conducted in an X direction by rotating the cylinder 52. Thus, it may be measured in one direction, the measurement is facilitated, and an error scarcely occurs in the measurement.
