Obtaining a comprehensive image of each of the plurality of substrates of the plurality of substrates by the photosensitive coupling element. 2. Performing the following steps by using the image processing board: ^ storing the plurality of substrates A comprehensive image of a substrate. 2. Store a comprehensive image of the second substrate in the plurality of substrates, and perform digital signal processing on the entire image of the first substrate. 4.
