    Abstract: A handheld color measurement instrument capable of reading both barcodes and sample colors. The instrument includes a single color measurement engine connected to a control capable of detecting and reading barcodes. When a barcode is detected, the control updates program and/or configuration information in accordance with information contained in the barcode. When a barcode is not detected, the control operates to read sample colors.

    Abstract: A spectrophotometer including an optical measurement head, a spectrometer and a control electronic. The measurement head is equipped with a multi-channel illumination arrangement having exclusively light emitting diodes as spectrally continuous light source. Each illumination channel includes a light emitting diode, whereby each light emitting diode is separately controllable. In combination with the control electronic, an illumination with electronically adjustable spectral characteristics is hereby realized.

    Abstract: An instrument and related process for measuring color, shade, gloss, shape and/or translucence of a tooth. First, the instrument uses searchlight illumination to illuminate a tooth with constant irradiance. Second, the instrument uses calorimetric imaging to collect time-separated frames of different wavelengths of light reflected from a tooth and to combine those frames into a color image. Third, the instrument includes a sanitary shield to establish a reference color and a predetermined distance to a target tooth. Fourth, the instrument provides line-of-sight viewing so an operator may simultaneously view a display of the image on the instrument and the object being measured. Fifth, the instrument is impervious to pollutants because it incorporates a sealed measurement window. Sixth, optical measurements of a tooth taken by a dentist are compared to optical measurements of a prosthetic restoration for that tooth to confirm satisfactory matching of optical characteristics of the tooth and restoration.

    Abstract: Optical characteristic measuring systems and methods such as for determining the color or other optical characteristics of an object are disclosed. Perimeter receiver fiber optics are spaced apart from a source fiber optic and receive light 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 optical characteristics measurement may be made at a predetermined height and angle. Various color spectral photometer arrangements are disclosed. Translucency, fluorescence, gloss 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. A method of producing prostheses based on measured data also is disclosed. Measured data also may be stored and/or organized as part of a data base.
