Abstract: An integrated spectral sensing engine featuring energy sources and detectors within a single package includes sample interfacing optics and acquisition and processing electronics. The miniaturized sensor is optimized for specific laboratory and field-based measurements by integration into a handheld format. Design and fabrication components support high volume manufacturing. Spectral selectivity is provided by either continuous variable optical filters or filter matrix devices. The sensor's response covers the range from 200 nm to 25 μm based on various solid-state detectors. The wavelength range can be extended by the use of filter-matrix devices. Measurement modes include transmittance/absorbance, turbidity (light scattering) and fluorescence (emission). On board data processing includes raw data acquisition, data massaging and the output of computed results. Sensor applications include water and environmental, food and beverage, chemical and petroleum, and medical analyses. These can be expanded into various field and consumer-based applications.

Abstract: A colorimeter method and apparatus is described. The colorimeter includes a plurality of sensors/filter systems with non overlappng spectral responses, adequate for providing data capable of translation into standard coordinates system such as, CIE XYZ, CIE L* a* b*, or CIE Luv, as well as non-standard operable coordinate systems. The field of view of the colorimeter is chosen to closely track the response of the human eye using an optical path configured to select and limit the field of view in a manner that is insensitive to placement of the colorimeter on the source image. The optical path from the source image to the sensor is configured to select preferred light rays while rejecting undesirable light rays to maximize the signal/noise ratio. A rearward facing sensor channel is included to simultaneously measure ambient light impinging on the source image and feedback means to provide status and/or change of information.

Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided a colorimetry device which when measuring color of a leaf of a plant, makes it possible to perform the measurement while leaving the plant as it is, without cutting off the leaf and damaging the plant. The colorimetry device comprises a light source for irradiating light to a measured object, a cover part provided with a take-out port for taking out light diffused from the measured object, and a placing part on which the measured object is placed, in which colorimetry device the measured object is put between the cover part and the placing part, so as to effect the color measurement of the measured object. In this case, the placing part and the cover part are connected with each other by a hinge mechanism in an openable and closable manner, so that when the measured object is placed on the placing part and the cover part is made to be in a closed state, a measurement space dividing section for defining a measurement space between the cover part and the placing part is provided. At this time, since a gap is formed between the measurement space dividing section and the measured object, inevitably causing light to leak from the outside, a function of correcting the effect of the external light is also provided. Moreover, measuring ligth is also arranged to be irradiated from the rear face of the measured object. Thereby, light transmitted through the measured object can be detected, enabling a more exact color measurement to be performed in consideration of transmission property of the measured object.

Abstract: A color measurement instrument with improved sample targeting or positioning. The system includes an integrating sphere, a beam splitter, a video camera, and a spectrograph. The beam splitter is aligned with the viewing port of the spectrophotometer to deliver the light reflected from the sample to both the video camera and the spectrograph. The video camera provides an image of the position of the sample with respect to the viewing port of the sphere, enabling the visual observation and evaluation of the sample position prior to use of the spectrophotometer.

Abstract: A card, generally rectangular, for maintains a material in a fixed position is dimensioned to interact with the holding plate for use with a spectrophotometer. A pair of polygon windows within the card are aligned with the window of the holding plate which aligns with the window of the spectrophotometer. The card can be sealed to secure itself when folded and retain the material overlaying the window within the folded card. A fabric recess preferable encompasses one of the windows and a fabric adhesive, preferably releasable, maintains the fabric swatch in position. The fabric adhesive can be placed within the fabric recess or encompassing an opposing window. The cards are stored within a pocketed holder having pockets dimensioned to individually store multiple cards on a sheet. The holding plate is dimensioned to be received and affixed to a spectrophotometer. A slot, open at one end of the holding plate, retains the cards. A light interactive material, such as industry approved color tiles, is placed in a recessed receiving area adjacent the window opposite the spectrophotometer. A lip spaced from the back wall, extends around at least a portion of the recessed area perimeter. A portion of the slot is open to the recessed area. A die cutter for consistently aligning and cutting has a hollow base containing a light source and a transparent top panel with marking indices. A resilient cutting base encompasses the transparent top panel.

Abstract: A digital, abridged spectrophotometer with a detecting head defining a roughly spherical, reflective inner surface broken by a viewing port and a light source port with a number of filtered photodiodes mounted in the head for each receiving light from a sample or standard in the viewing port. A standard sheet of vitrolite is mounted on the housing for movement with a plunger, which trips a switch, to cover the viewing port, while a standard black sheet can be pivoted to cover the viewing port for the calibration which precedes each reading. A digital computer calculates the tristimulus values from the signals produced by the photodiodes and provides signals for a display of the color values.
