    Abstract: A method for inspecting defects inside a rod-shaped transparent object by using a scanning beam of parallel light rays directed onto a rod-shaped transparent object orthogonally to the longitudinal axis of the object so that an inspection plane comprises an object's cross-section. The scanning beam is detected at an opposite side of the rod-shaped object that is interposed to intercept the parallel rays of the scanning beam. The electric output signal from the detector is processed to produce a first light intensity profile in a first scan direction, the light intensity profile comprising a shadow region delimited by first and second shadow edges, which is indicative of the outside diameter of the object across the inspection plane. The method comprises analysing the first light intensity profile to determine the presence or absence of a peak of positive intensity within the shadow region and, if an intensity peak is determined to be present, to determine the presence or absence of a region of depressed intensity within the intensity peak. If, as a result of analysing, an intensity peak within the shadow region is determined to be absent or a region of depressed intensity is determined to be present within the intensity peak, the presence of at least one structural defect within the object's cross-section is identified. In the preferred embodiments, the rod-shaped transparent object is a glass core rod for the production of a transmission optical fibre.

    Abstract: A first lens configured to convert light from the objective lens into parallel light includes a concave lens part having a concave curved face in a center portion of a flat face, and a convex lens part having a convex curved face around a flat face. Further, the first lens includes first and second regions configured to diverge light through the flat face and the concave curved face and a third region configured to collect light through the convex curved face and the concave curved face. When the sample is on a sample table and sealed in a two-dimensional electrophoresis substrate, light totally reflected by a side surface of the objective lens enters the second region. In contrast, when the sample is directly on the sample table, the light enters the third region.

A disclosed example method includes emitting light from a light source, dividing the light source into a first path and a second path, and directing the first path to a first container comprising a plurality of particles in a suspension material. The example method also includes directing the second path to a second container containing a suspension material devoid of particles, retrieving a first transmission value of the first path through the first container, and retrieving a second transmission value of the second path through the second container. The example method further includes directing the first and second paths to the second and first containers, respectively, retrieving a third transmission value of the first path a through the second container, retrieving a fourth transmission value of the second path through the first container, and calculating a ratio of the first and second transmission values to the third and fourth transmission values to determine an indication of transmissivity for a given wavelength.
