Abstract: A hand-held colorimetric device (101) suitable for use by blind or colour-blind individuals to determine the colour of a surface-under-test (SUT), for example of a fabric, has an aperture (110) which, in use, is covered by the SUT (113) whose colour is to be determined. Six LEDs (115A, 115B, 116B, 117A and 117B) arranged in pairs (115A/115B, 116A/116 B, 117a/117B) emitting red/orange, green, and blue light illuminate the SUT and diffuse reflections therefrom containing red/orange, green, and blue spectrum sample values are used to determine the luminous reflectivity and chromaticity values for the colour of the SUT. The measured values are compared with colorimetric values of reference surfaces to determine the colour of the SUT. The colorimetric device may output the name of the colour aurally.

Abstract: Crime scene lighting devices are used in forensic criminology for illumination and investigation at crime scenes using fluorescence excitation. High radiation powers are required both for white light in the so-called general search and for the criminologically relevant UVA-blue-green range. Moreover, it should be possible for the crime scene investigator to use the forensic lighting device portably and independent from the public power supply. The present disclosure relates to a suitable crime scene light device with a mercury ultra high pressure lamp as the light source, a light guide and terminals for operating the lamp selectively with an accumulator or the public power supply system. A suitable carrier bag, a so-called lorgnette with various longpass filters and a cross-section converter for visualizing shoeprints form useful accessories of the forensic lighting device.

Abstract: A spectrometer apparatus for determining an optical characteristic of an object or material is disclosed. A probe is positionable to be in proximity to the object or material. First and second receivers are provided on the probe. Light from one or more first receivers is coupled to one or more first optical sensors via a spectral separation implement. Light from one or more second receivers is coupled to one or more second sensors without spectral separation of the light. A light source provides light to the object or material via the probe. A processor coupled to receive one or more signals from the first and second sensors determines the optical characteristic of the object or material and determines a physical position property of the probe with respect to the object or material or a non-color optical property of the object or material. The physical position property may be a distance or angular position of the probe with respect to a surface of the object or material. The non-color optical property may be translucence, gloss, gray level and/or surface texture.
