A probe includes a first rod having a first axis and a second rod having a second axis. A first end of the first rod is connected to a first end of the second rod to form an angle that maintains a “total internal reflection” effect for waves propagating through the probe. A second end of the second rod includes a prong facilitating attachment of the probe to a housing block. The first axis and the second axis define a plane. A second end of the first rod includes a tapered face formed perpendicular to the plane. The tapered face is sufficiently flat to make planar contact with a portion of a component under study. A support is formed in the plane and connected to the second rod. A second end of the support includes a connector to facilitate attachment of the probe to the housing block.

Disclosed is a spring probe, which comprises a needle tube, a needle with a tail end clamped in the needle tube and capable of moving axially along the needle tube, and a spring arranged between the front end of the needle and the inner bottom of the needle tube and applying thrust to the needle. The open end of the needle tube is circumferentially provided with a plurality of elastic sheets with elasticity. The inner sides of the elastic sheets are provided with first flanges for preventing the needle from separating from the needle tube. The first flanges are pressed against the outer wall of the needle under the action of the elastic force of the elastic sheets. The outer wall of the tail end of the needle head is provided with a second flange which can abut against the first flanges under the action of the spring.

An analysis device analyzes inspection results of an inspection object which includes inspection target devices having respective electrodes on which needle marks are formed. The analysis device includes a display part for displaying an image, and an image generation part for generating an image to be displayed on the display part. The image generation part generates an analysis image based on information on inspection results with respect to the needle marks. The analysis image includes a needle mark scatter plot image showing positions of the needle marks with respect to the electrodes in each inspection target device in an overlapped manner, an inspection object map image showing a surface of the inspection object and showing needle mark inspection results with respect to the inspection target devices, and a captured image of the electrodes. Display contents of the images are linked with each other.
