Abstract: A method for determining spectral characteristics of an object is disclosed. A probe is positioned in proximity relative to the object. The probe provides light from at least first and second light sources positioned first and second distances from a central light receiver. The first light source and the central light receiver define a first critical height from the surface below which no specularly reflected light from the first light source is received by the central light receiver, and the second light source and the central light receiver define a second critical height from the surface below which no specularly reflected light from the second light source is received by the central light receiver. The first critical height is different from the second critical height.

Abstract: A spectroscopy system is provided which is optimized for operation in the VUV region and capable of performing well in the DUV-NIR region. Additionally, the system incorporates an optical module which presents selectable sources and detectors optimized for use in the VUV and DUV-NIR. As well, the optical module provides common delivery and collection optics to enable measurements in both spectral regions to be collected using similar spot properties. The module also provides a means of quickly referencing measured data so as to ensure that highly repeatable results are achieved. The module further provides a controlled environment between the VUV source, sample chamber and VUV detector which acts to limit in a repeatable manner the absorption of VUV photons. The use of broad band data sets which encompass VUV wavelengths, in addition to the DUV-NIR wavelengths enables a greater variety of materials to be meaningfully characterized. Array based detection instrumentation may be exploited to permit the simultaneous collection of larger wavelength regions.

Abstract: A handheld colour measurement device includes a housing in which an optoelectronic measurement unit is located which receives measurement light originating from a measurement object, converts it into corresponding electrical measurement signals and processes these measurement signals into preferably digital measurement data characterizing the colour of the measurement object. It further includes passive components required for the realization of different application functions, such as measurement windows and reference standards, which can be selectively positioned into the measurement beam path of the measurement unit. The passive components are positioned in a first housing block (100) and the opto-electronic measurement unit as a whole in a second housing block (200). The second housing block is adjustable into several defined application positions relative to the first housing block, in which application positions respectively one of the passive components is located in the measurement beam path of the opto-electronic measurement unit. This special division into two mutually relatively adjustable housing blocks allows an easy realization of a compact colour measurement device suitable for many application functions, which is distinguished by a particular user friendliness.
