That is, the detection values of the reflected light on the upper surface of these members 25 and 35 and the detected value of the reflected light on the member 60 are different due to the difference in the height of their reflecting surfaces. For example, as shown in FIG.
0 is dark<60a, 60b, BoCl-force The reflected light from the upper surface of the member 25.35 is bright (25a, 35a is detected, and the positional relationship of the member 25.35 and member 60 is detected from these bright and dark stripes. In this case, member 25.
It goes without saying that if the upper surface of the 35 is polished or the like, the contrast will become clearer.
