Abstract:
An optical measuring apparatus comprising at least one light emitting unit, a stage, at least one lens, and at least one light detector is provided. The light emitting unit emits a light beam. The stage contains accommodating spaces. The accommodating spaces move to the transmission path of the light beam in turn. The lens is located between the light emitting unit and the stage, whose orthogonal projection on the stage appears substantially to be a polygon. When one of the accommodating spaces moves to the transmission path of the light beam, a perpendicular bisector half line of each side of the polygon is not overlapped with another adjacent accommodating space of the accommodating spaces. An optical measuring method is also provided.

An apparatus and method are disclosed for examining optically a sample carried in a plurality of wells. A holder is adapted to receive and hold in place a sample carrier. A plurality of excitation means selectively introduce excitation towards a spatially limited portion of a sample carrier held in place by said holder. Detecting means receive and detect emission radiation coupled out from a light output window of a sample carrier held in place by said holder. Said detecting means is common to said excitation means and is configured to receive emission radiation from a plurality of different spatially limited portions of a sample carrier held in place by said holder.
Abstract:
A light guide member for an object detection apparatus for detecting an object adhered on a light translucent member based on change of quantity of reflection light received from the light translucent member includes a detection face where light exits to the light translucent member and reflection light reflected from the light translucent member enters, the detection face including a detection area where a part of the reflection light to enter the detection unit passes through, and a non-detection area where remaining part of the reflection light not to enter the detection unit passes through; a first intervening member disposed on the detection face attachable to the light translucent member via the first intervening member; and a second intervening member disposed on the detection face attachable to the light translucent member via the second intervening member. The first intervening member has flexibility greater than flexibility of the second intervening member.

Abstract:
An apparatus for optically inspecting an at least partially reflecting surface of an object includes first and second transverse carriers (12, 14) defining respective substantially circular segment-shaped cutouts (32). The transverse carriers (12, 14) are disposed at a longitudinal distance (D) from one another and the longitudinal distance (D) defines a longitudinal direction (17). A plurality of longitudinal members are configured to hold the first and second transverse carriers at the longitudinal distance (D). The longitudinal members are arranged at a defined radial distance to the circular segment-shaped cutouts. A translucent diffusing screen is held in the circular segment-shaped cutouts by the transverse carriers to form a tunnel-shaped inspection space. A multiplicity of light sources are arranged outside of the tunnel-shaped inspection space behind the diffusing screen. The light sources are configured to be controlled individually or in small groups to generate variable light-dark patterns on the diffusing screen. A workpiece receptacle is configured for accommodating the object in the tunnel-shaped inspection space. At least one camera is directed into the tunnel-shaped inspection space. An evaluation and control unit is configured to control the light sources and the camera to generate various light-dark patterns on the diffusing screen and to record and evaluate a plurality of images of the object in dependence on the light-dark patterns.

Abstract:
Perspective distortion inspecting equipment (1) comprising an LED plate (3), a CCD camera (4), and a computer (6). The LED plate has a plurality of target marks (T) inclining at 45 degrees. Under a state where a panel (2) is arranged between the LED plate and the CCD camera, the computer lights the target marks one by one and the lighted target mark is photographed by the CCD camera. The computer calculates a perspective distortion (R) based on the distance between a virtual line (K) connecting the images on the LED at the opposite ends of each target mark and the image of the LED located in the middle of the target mark.
