The invention claimed is: 1. A transparent conductive film comprising: a transparent substrate which is a polymer film, a first optical adjustment layer disposed on one side, in the thickness direction of the transparent conductive film, of the transparent substrate and made of a resin layer, an inorganic substance layer disposed on one side, in the thickness direction of the transparent conductive film, of the first optical adjustment layer so as to make contact with the first optical adjustment layer, and a transparent conductive layer disposed directly on one side, in the thickness direction of the transparent conductive film, of the inorganic substance layer, wherein the inorganic substance layer has a thickness of 10 nm or less, the surface of the one side, in the thickness direction of the transparent conductive film, of the transparent conductive layer has a surface roughness of 1.40 nm or less, and the first optical adjustment layer does not substantially contain particles. 2. The transparent conductive film according to claim 1 , wherein the first optical adjustment layer has a thickness of less than 200 nm. 3. The transparent conductive film according to claim 1 , wherein the surface of the one side, in the thickness direction of the transparent conductive film, of the inorganic substance layer has a surface roughness of 0.20 nm or more and 0.70 nm or less. 4. The transparent conductive film according to claim 1 , further comprising a second optical adjustment layer, wherein the second optical adjustment layer is disposed on one side, in the thickness direction of the transparent conductive film, of the transparent substrate and on the other side, in the thickness direction of the transparent conductive film, of the first optical adjustment layer, and the second optical adjustment layer has a refraction that is different from the refraction of the first optical adjustment layer. 5. The transparent conductive film according to claim 4 , wherein the first optical adjustment layer has a refraction that is lower than the refraction of the second optical adjustment layer. 6. The transparent conductive film according to claim 1 , wherein the transparent conductive layer has a thickness of 25 nm or more and 40 nm or less. 7. The transparent conductive film according to claim 1 , wherein the transparent conductive layer has a specific resistance of 1.1×10 −4 Ω·cm or more and 2.5×10 −4 Ω·cm or less. 8. The transparent conductive film according to claim 4 , wherein the second optical adjustment layer is made of a resin layer. 9. The transparent conductive film according to claim 4 , wherein the second optical adjustment layer comprises of a resin and particles. 10. The transparent conductive film according to claim 4 , wherein the second optical adjustment layer has a thickness of 30 nm to 1000 nm. 11. The transparent conductive film according to claim 4 , wherein the difference between the refraction of the first optical adjustment layer and the refraction of the second optical adjustment layer is 0.10 to 0.60. 12. The transparent conductive film according to claim 1 , wherein the inorganic substance layer is composed of an inorganic substance selected from the group consisting of alkali metal fluorides, alkaline earth metal fluorides, rare earth element fluorides, oxides and mixtures thereof.
