To correctly detect micro-defects smaller than before in a defect detecting device and method.
The defect detecting device is provided with a rotation driving device 2 for rotating an inspection body 1 with an inspection plane 11 at a predetermined speed, a slider 5 which floats over the inspection plane 11 by a predetermined amount through the use of an airflow generated over the inspection plane when the inspection body 1 is rotated, an optical fiber 4 attached to the slider 5 for generating near-field light toward the inspection plane 11 and detecting the reflected light of the near-field light reflected by the inspection plane 11, and a light intensity detecting means 7 for detecting the intensity of the reflected light detected by the optical fiber 4.
