Method and apparatus are described for a spherical surface inspection system comprising a controller having software, an optical sensor connected to the controller, and an inspection device disposed adjacent to the optical sensor, and connected to the controller. The inspection device is for retaining and rotating the spherical-shaped object along a first axis to allow the optical sensor to convey an image of a portion of the surface of the spherical-shaped object to the controller. The inspection device also rotates the spherical-shaped object along a second axis to convey an image of more of the surface of the spherical-shaped object to the controller.
