An inspection device for inspecting a sample having a surface formed of a transparent film and a non-transparent material, the inspection device including: a first optical unit configured to irradiate the sample with illumination light emitted from a light source and condense first reflected light reflected by the sample; a second optical unit configured to illuminate a reflecting mirror with the illumination light and condense second reflected light reflected by the reflecting mirror; an interference optical unit configured to cause the first reflected light and the second reflected light to interfere with each other to obtain interference light; a plurality of interference light sensors configured to detect a reflected light intensity of the interference light; and a signal processing device configured to process a detected light amount of the interference light sensor. The signal processing device identifies, based on the detected light amount of the interference light sensor and refractive indices of the transparent film and the non-transparent material, whether any coordinates of the sample indicate any of the transparent film and the non-transparent material, and measures a surface height or a film thickness of the sample at the coordinates by calculation.
