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:
There is provided a nitrogen analyzing method for quantitative analysis of nitrogen in a specimen by a chemiluminescence method using ozone which is capable of measuring a concentration of nitrogen contained in the specimen with still higher accuracy, as well as a nitrogen analyzer used for practicing the analyzing method. Also, according to the present invention, there is provided a nitrogen analyzing method and a nitrogen analyzer which have a less adverse influence on human body and are also capable of further reducing environmental burden even when analyzing nitrogen in fuel-related specimens. The nitrogen analyzing method according to the present invention comprises the steps of burning a specimen comprising a nitrogen compound to generate a specimen gas, allowing the resulting specimen gas to react with ozone to measure a chemiluminescence intensity thereof, and quantitatively determining a concentration of nitrogen in the specimen based on a previously prepared calibration curve expressing a relationship between the chemiluminescence intensity and a weight of nitrogen, wherein the calibration curve is previously prepared from a standard specimen having a nitrogen concentration of 5 to 100 ppm, and the specimen is used in the form of a diluted specimen prepared by diluting the specimen with a solvent into a nitrogen concentration of 5 to 100 ppm.

Abstract:
Arrangements and methods are provided for obtaining information associated with an anatomical sample. For example, at least one first electro-magnetic radiation can be provided to the anatomical sample so as to generate at least one acoustic wave in the anatomical sample. At least one second electro-magnetic radiation can be produced based on the acoustic wave. At least one portion of at least one second electro-magnetic radiation can be provided so as to determine information associated with at least one portion of the anatomical sample. In addition, the information based on data associated with the second electro-magnetic radiation can be analyzed. The first electro-magnetic radiation may include at least one first magnitude and at least one first frequency. The second electro-magnetic radiation can include at least one second magnitude and at least one second frequency. The data may relate to a first difference between the first and second magnitudes and/or a second difference between the first and second frequencies. The second difference may be approximately between -100 GHz and 100 GHz, excluding zero.

Abstract:
The disclosure relates to an imaging system which is designed for two-dimensional, spatially resolved measurement of radiometric and/or photometric measured variables, for example the color coordinates of light emitted by a test object. An image sensor is provided for receiving a first part of the light and for generating a two-dimensional digital image of the light emission of the test object. A measuring unit receives a second part of the light and detects radiometric and/or photometric measured variables for different measuring spots or measuring angles. A computing unit transforms the image values of at least a few image points of the generated image, the transformation taking into account the measured variables detected for the measuring spots or measuring angles. The disclosure provides a system which is improved in relation to the prior art. For example, determining the color coordinates when measuring displays with spatially inhomogeneous spectral emission is more precise than in the prior art. The disclosure comprises an imaging spectrometer which is able to determine the measured variables separately for each measuring spot or measuring angle. Alternatively, two or more measuring units can be provided, a measuring unit being associated with each measuring spot or measuring angle. The disclosure also relates to a method for two-dimensional, spatially resolved measurement of radiometric and/or photometric measured variables, for example the color coordinates of light, which uses such an imaging system.

A photometric processing part calculates a normal vector of a surface of a workpiece from a plurality of luminance images acquired by a camera in accordance with the photometric stereo method, and performs synthesis processing of synthesizing at least two images out of an inclination image made up of pixel values based on the normal vector calculated from the plurality of luminance images and at least one reduced image of the inclination image, to generate an inspection image showing a surface shape of the inspection target. In particular, a characteristic size setting part sets a characteristic size which is a parameter for giving weight to a component of a reduced image at the time of performing the synthesis processing. The photometric processing part can generate a different inspection image in accordance with the set characteristic size.
