Abstract: A spectroscopic instrument comprising a compartment (2) for housing instrument components (3) and desiccant (4) to protect the instrument components, and a deformable container (5) having at least one wall portion which is movable within the compartment (2) so as to vary the volume of the compartment (2) that is occupied by the deformable container as the container is deformed. The interior of the deformable container (5) is in fluid communication with the surroundings of the instrument, such that a difference in pressure between the compartment and the surroundings tends to cause the deformable container to deform, moving the wall portion.

Abstract: An illumination device is provided with a light source, a photodetector, and a support structure. The light source, which emits light, has light distribution in which a reference axis serves as an axis of symmetry or light distribution in which a plane including the reference axis serves as a plane of symmetry. A first light beam in the light is guided to the object to be illuminated. A second light beam in the light is guided to the photodetector. The photodetector detects intensity of the second light beam. The light source and the photodetector are supported by the support structure in positions and postures that allow the first light beam and the second light beam to be guided in an aforementioned manner. A traveling direction of the first light beam and a traveling direction of the second light beam make the same angle with the reference axis.

Abstract: A tool for positioning a scanning device provided with a spectrometer comprises: a support having a resting zone suitable for being rested onto a surface, a fixing arrangement for fixing the scanning device to the tool. The support is so dimensioned as to leave uncovered an operative zone in which the spectrometer is movable for acquiring an image provided on a substrate, so that the spectrometer can acquire the image while the support is resting directly on the substrate.The tool further comprises a vision device comprising a video camera for recording the image and a control unit that controls the video camera, the control unit being programmed to recognise pre-established points of the image recorded by the video camera.

Abstract: Imaging tools can be fixedly or removably attached to various surfaces of test and measurement tools. An imaging tool comprising a sensor array capable of receiving electromagnetic radiation from a target scene can be configured to engage a surface of the test and measurement tool such that the imaging tool is supported by the test and measurement tool. When the imaging tool is engaged with the test and measurement tool, the sensor array can be movable relative to the imaging tool so that a target scene viewed by the sensor array of the imaging tool is adjustable without requiring movement of the test and measurement tool.

Abstract: A spectroscopic module 1 is provided with a spectroscopic unit 8 and a photodetector 9 in addition to a spectroscopic unit 7 and a photodetector 4 and thus can enhance its detection sensitivity for light in a wide wavelength range or different wavelength regions of light. A light-transmitting hole 4b is disposed between light detecting portions 4a, 9a, while a reflection unit 6 is provided so as to oppose a region R in a light-absorbing substrate 2, whereby the size can be kept from becoming larger. Ambient light La is absorbed by the region R in the substrate 2. Any part of the light La transmitted through the region R in the substrate 2 is reflected to the region R by the unit 6 formed so as to oppose the region R, whereby stray light can be inhibited from being caused by the incidence of the light La.

Abstract: Color calibration of color image rendering devices, such as large color displays, which operate by either projection or emission of images, utilize internal color measurement instrument or external color measurement modules locatable on a wall or speaker. A dual use camera is provided for a portable or laptop computer, or a cellular phone, handset, personal digital assistant or other handheld device with a digital camera, in which one of the camera or a display is movable with respect to the other to enable the camera in a first mode to capture images of the display for enabling calibration of the display, and in a second mode for capturing image other than of the display. The displays may represent rendering devices for enabling virtual proofing in a network, or may be part of stand-alone systems and apparatuses for color calibration. Improved calibration is also provided for sensing and correcting for non-uniformities of rendering devices, such as color displays, printer, presses, or other color image rendering device.

Abstract: A spectroscopy system includes an array of quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) that emits an array of non-coincident laser beams. A lens array coupled to the QCL array substantially collimates the laser beams, which propagate along parallel optical axes towards a sample. The beams remain substantially collimated over the lens array's working distance, but may diverge when propagating over longer distances. The collimated, parallel beams may be directed to/through the sample, which may be within a sample cell, flow cell, multipass spectroscopic absorption cell, or other suitable holder. Alternatively, the beams may be focused to a point on, near, or within the target using a telescope or other suitable optical element(s). When focused, however, the beams remain non-coincident; they simply intersect at the focal point. The target transmits, reflects, and/or scatters this incident light to a detector, which transduces the detected radiation into an electrical signal representative of the target's absorption or emission spectrum.

Abstract translation: 光谱系统包括发射非重合激光束阵列的量子级联激光器阵列（QCL）。 耦合到QCL阵列的透镜阵列基本上准直了沿着平行光轴朝向样本传播的激光束。 光束在透镜阵列的工作距离上保持基本上准直，但是当在较长距离上传播时可能会发散。 准直的平行光束可以被引导到/通过样品，其可以在样品池，流通池，多光谱吸收单元或其它合适的保持器内。 或者，可以使用望远镜或其它合适的光学元件将光束聚焦到靶上，接近或在目标内的点。 然而，当专注时，梁保持不重合; 他们只是在焦点处相交。 目标将该入射光透射，反射和/或散射到检测器，检测器将检测到的辐射转换成代表目标吸收或发射光谱的电信号。
