- FIG. 8 (a) is an explanatory diagram showing the result of binarizing the image shown in FIG. 7 (a)
- FIG. 8 (b) is a binarization of the image shown in FIG. 7 (b).
- FIG. 8 (c) is an explanatory diagram showing the result of the processing, and FIG.
- 8 (c) is an explanatory diagram showing the result of binarizing the image shown in FIG. 7 (c).
- 8 (a) to 8 (c) the darkly projected portion of the transmission image, that is, the portion having irregularities on the partition wall surface is shown as white.
- the ratio of the area of the portion where the transmission image is darkly projected to the area of the entire transmission image is 0.1% for the honeycomb structure A, 2.7% for the honeycomb structure B, and 2.7% for the honeycomb structure B.
- the cam structure C is 4.2%, and the difference between the honeycomb structures A, B, and C is obtained by using the unevenness inspection device 1 (see Fig. 1) on the partition wall surface of the honeycomb structure of this embodiment.
- the unevenness inspection device 1 see Fig. 1
- the unevenness inspection of the partition wall surface of the honeycomb structure which is one of the criteria for judging the quality of the honeycomb structure used for a filter, a catalyst carrier, or the like, can be performed easily and nondestructively.
