An analysis method for detecting an amount of a substance by irradiating an analysis chip containing the substance and detecting a quantity of light output from the analysis chip. The analysis method including irradiating an incident surface of the analysis chip and another surface adjacent to the incident surface with detection light while changing a relative position of the detection light with respect to the analysis chip, detecting reflected light from the incident surface of the analysis chip, and acquiring information on a position of the analysis chip from a relationship between a quantity of the reflected light detected and the relative position. The analysis method determines if the analysis chip is abnormal when a quantity of target reflected light is equal to or lower than a predetermined light quantity.

A method for assessing the quality of a multi-channel micro- and/or subwavelength-optical projection unit is disclosed. The method comprises the following steps: At least a predefined portion of the optical projection unit is illuminated so that an image is generated by at least two channels of the predefined portion of the multi-channel optical projection unit. At least one characteristic quantity is determined based on the analysis of the image, wherein a value of the characteristic quantity is associated with a characteristic feature of the projection unit, a defect of the projection unit and/or a defect class of the projection unit. The quality of the projection unit is assessed based on the at least one characteristic quantity. Moreover, a test system for assessing the quality of a multi-channel micro- and/or subwavelength-optical projection unit and a computer program are disclosed.

A manufacturing device is used for manufacturing a package including a resin sheet and a predetermined work wrapped with the resin sheet. The manufacturing device includes: a sealing unit that thermally welds overlapping parts of the sheet; and an inspection device that inspects a sealing quality of the sealed portion thermally welded by the sealing unit. The sealing unit makes, by the thermal welding, a thickness of the sealed portion after the thermal welding smaller than a total thickness of the overlapping parts prior to the thermal welding. The inspection device obtains thickness information on the thickness of the sealed portion and determines the sealing quality of the sealed portion based on the thickness information.
