Abstract: An inspection apparatus includes a light source unit, cameras, a keyboard, and a controller that determines a wavelength of the excitation light, based on the information on the emission color received by the keyboard, and that controls the light source unit so that the light source unit generates excitation light with the determined wavelength. The controller determines a wavelength longer than an absorption edge wavelength of the substrate of the sample and shorter than a peak wavelength of an emission spectrum of the light-emitting element, the peak wavelength being specified from the information on the emission color, to be the wavelength of the excitation light.
