An inspection device in accordance with the present invention is
configured so that a light source used for irradiating light, and a
reflection-type prism that irradiates the light from the light source to
a hologram provided on an inspection target that is placed downward and
that diffracts light rays in different directions that are reflected from
the hologram upward in the same or substantially the same direction are
housed in a case. With such an arrangement, it becomes possible to
provide an inspection device that can positively conduct an inspection
process for identifying the genuineness of an inspection target having a
hologram quickly, and is also advantageous in costs.
