Abstract:
SE EXPONEN SISTEMAS Y PROCEDIMIENTOS PARA LA MEDICION DE LAS CARACTERISTICAS DE COLORES/OPTICAS. UNOS ELEMENTOS/OPTICOS (7) DE FIBRA RECEPTORA PERIMETRALES SE ENCUENTRAN SEPARADOS DE UN ELEMENTO/OPTICA (5) DE FIBRA CENTRAL DE FUENTE, Y VIENDOSE LA LUZ RECIBIDA, REFLEJADA DE LA SUPERFICIE DEL OBJETO (20). LA LUZ PROCEDENTE DE LA OPTICA DE FIBRA PERIMETRAL (7) PASA A UNA VARIEDAD DE FILTROS. EL SISTEMA UTILIZA LA OPTICA DE FIBRA DEL RECEPTOR PERIMETRAL (7) PARA DETERMINAR INFORMACION RESPECTO A LA ALTURA Y ANGULO DE LA SONDA (1) CON RELACION AL OBJETO (20) QUE SE MIDE. BAJO CONTROL DEL PROCESADOR (20), LA MEDICION DEL COLOR PUEDE HACERSE A UNA ALTURA Y ANGULO PREESTABLECIDOS. SE EXPONEN DIVERSAS DISPOSICIONES DE FOTOMETROS ESPECTRALES EN COLOR. SE PUEDEN OBTENER IGUALMENTE DATOS SOBRE TRANSLUCENCIA, FLUORESCENCIA, Y/O TEXTURA SUPERFICIAL. PUEDE PROPORCIONARSE UNA REALIMENTACION AUDIO PARA GUIAR EL USO DEL SISTEMA POR PARTE DEL OPERADOR. LA SONDA (1) PUEDE TENER UNA PUNTA DESMONTABLE O BLINDADA PARA IMPEDIR LA CONTAMINACION.
Abstract:
Color measuring systems and methods are disclosed. Perimeter receiver fiber optics are spaced apart from a central source fiber optic and receive light reflected from the surface of the object being measured. Light from the perimeter fiber optics pass to a variety of filters. The system utilizes the perimeter receiver fiber optics to determine information regarding the height and angle of the probe with respect to the object being measured. Under processor control, the color measurement may be made at a predetermined height and angle. Various color spectral photometer arrangements are disclosed. Translucency, fluorescence and/or surface texture data also may be obtained. Audio feedback may be provided to guide operator use of the system. The probe may have a removable or shielded tip for contamination prevention.
Abstract:
A miniaturized spectrometer/spectrophotometer system and methods are disclosed. A probe tip including one or more light sources and a plurality of light receivers is provided. A first spectrometer system receives light from a first set of the plurality of light receivers. A second spectrometer system receives light from a second set of the plurality of light receivers. A processor, wherein the processor receives data generated by the first spectrometer system and the second spectrometer system, wherein an optical measurement of a sample under test is produced based on the data generated by the first and second spectrometer systems.
