Abstract:
A color measurement apparatus to which a colorimeter that measures a color of a color measurement target is configured to be attached, includes a support base of the color measurement target, a carriage that supports the colorimeter, a gantry that supports the carriage, a first scanning mechanism that causes the carriage to perform scanning in a first direction on the support base, and a second scanning mechanism that causes the gantry to perform scanning in a second direction, in which the first scanning mechanism includes a first motor that generates a driving force for causing the carriage to perform scanning in the first direction, and a first transmission mechanism portion that transmits the driving force from the first motor to the carriage, and the first motor overlaps the gantry in a third direction.
Abstract:
A printer includes a spectroscope and a carriage moving unit. The spectroscope includes a wavelength-selective interference filter on which light from a measurement target is incident, and the carriage moving unit moves the spectroscope in an X direction with respect to the measurement target. If the measurement target is a color patch, the spectroscope performs spectrometry by changing a wavelength of light passing through the wavelength-selective interference filter in a first period during which the spectroscope is moved in the X direction, and passes light of an initial wavelength through the wavelength-selective interference filter at a start of measurement and at an end of measurement in the first period. A first output value that is a measured value from the spectrometry at the start of measurement is compared with a second output value that is a measured value from the spectrometry at the end of measurement.
Abstract:
An interferometer includes a first assembly having a base, a beam splitter assembly to split light into first and second portions, and a fixed mirror for reflecting the first portion of light; and a second assembly movable with respect to the first assembly, and having first and second scan carriages, and a movable mirror connected to the second scan carriage for reflecting the second portion of light. The beam splitter assembly combines the reflected first and second portions of light into a recombined radiation beam. Inner bearing flexures enable movement of the first scan carriage relative to the base, and outer bearing flexures enable movement of the second scan carriage relative to the first scan carriage, such that a plane containing the movable mirror is maintained parallel to multiple planes containing the movable mirror at respective distances between the second and first assemblies during scan movement of the movable mirror.
Abstract:
An interferometer includes a fixed assembly including a base, a beam splitter assembly and a fixed mirror, and a movable assembly including an upper scan carriage, a lower scan carriage and a movable mirror connected to the lower scan carriage. The pair of inner bearing flexures is connected to the base and the upper scan carriage, enabling movement of the upper scan carriage relative to the base, and the pair of outer bearing flexures is connected to the upper and lower scan carriages, enabling movement of the lower scan carriage relative to the upper scan carriage. The movement of the upper and lower scan carriages enable a scan movement of the movable mirror in a scan direction restricted such that the scan movement maintains a plane containing the movable mirror parallel to planes containing the movable mirror at respective distances between the movable and fixed assemblies during the scan movement.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to the field of optical systems, in particular to an atomic emission spectrometer. The envisaged multi-scan optical system (100) is compact and stable. The system comprises an excitation source (104), a hydra fiber cable (106), a wavelength selector (103), a dispersive optical element (101), and a detector (102). The excitation source is configured to emit composite light. The hydra fiber cable has a head and a plurality of tentacles, and is configured to receive the composite light via a second lens. The plurality of tentacles is configured to emit the composite light towards the wavelength selector which includes a plurality of optical slits (s1 - s8) and a plurality of shutters. The wavelength selector is configured to selectively collect and filter the composite light directed by a first lens and the plurality of tentacles by means of the plurality of shutters. The detector is configured to detect the plurality of spectral line scans reflected by the dispersive optical element for spectrometric analysis.
Abstract:
A monochromator arrangement comprises a monochromator (9) and a deflection system (2), which by means of four deflection mirrors (10, 11, 17, 18), divert into the external beam trajectory (5) the output light beam (13) of a monochromator (9) placed in an intermediate focus of an external beam trajectory (4, 5), so that said trajectory (4, 5) is not affected by the presence or absence of the monochromator arrangement (2, 9).
