Abstract:
In an optical instrument for spectroscopically measuring color and gloss of a sample surface, a fiber optic probe is provided wherein light is transmitted from a light source to the probe through a fiber optic bundle. The fiber optic bundle is arranged to illuminate a surface positioned over an aperture in the probe. Light diffusely reflected from the sample surface is transmitted by a second fiber optic bundle to a spectrophotometer. A small fiber bundle is arranged in the probe to irradiate the surface of the sample at an angle of 60 degrees and a second small fiber bundle is arranged to receive light from the first mentioned small fiber bundle after being specularly reflected from the surface. The second fiber optic bundle transmits the received light to a photodetector in the spectrophotometer to provide an indication of the gloss of the sample surface.
Abstract:
In a real-time color comparator which performs color comparisons of sample objects to a reference color for the purpose of identification, sorting or matching two optical paths (15, 16) are positioned to collect the light from a reference object (12) and a sample object (11). The light outputs from the two paths are directed onto a spectral dispersive element in the form of a concave diffraction grating (20) that decomposes each light signal into its spectral constituents which are imaged on a dual photodetector array (30). The color signature from the reference and the color signature from the sample are compared.
Abstract:
Ein Handgerät zur Erfassung photometrischer Daten verfügt über einen Meßkopf (4) zur Beleuchtung einer Meßfläche und zur Erfassung des remittierten Lichtes. Das vom Meßkopf (4) aufgefangene Meßlicht wird mit Hilfe eines ein Beugungsgitter (55) enthaltenden Monochromators spektral zerlegt. Mit Hilfe eines Photodetektors (62) wird die Intensität des durch eine Austrittsblende (61) austretenden Lichtes erfaßt. Die spektrale Lage des Meßlichtes wird mit Hilfe eines Antriebsmotors (31), der eine mit der Halterung (60) des Beugungsgitters (55) verbundene Gitterwelle (30) dreht, eingestellt. Aus den erfaßten Spektren werden mit Hilfe eines Rechners (63) densitometrische und farbmetrische Größen errechnet, die ebenso wie die erfaßten Spektren auf einem Anzeigefeld (10) darstellbar sind.

Abstract:
In a multi-angle colorimeter, a light detecting portion 40 includes a main light receiving window 41 W disposed in a predetermined position on a main geometry plane, and first and second auxiliary optical windows 42W and 43W disposed on a secondary geometry plane, and a main photoelectric conversion element V1 for converting a main component light V0 received by the main light receiving window 41 W in a light reflected from a measurement point into an electrical main signal SG0, and first and second auxiliary photoelectric conversion elements 42T and 43T for converting first and second auxiliary component lights V1 and V2 received by the first and second auxiliary light receiving windows 42W and 43W in the reflected light respectively into first and second electrical auxiliary signals SG1 and SG2. A calculating portion 72 corrects the main signal SG0 based on the first and second auxiliary signals SG1 and SG2 to obtain color information about the measurement point. Consequently, it is possible to reduce a posture error caused by a relative inclination of a measurement plane while maintaining reliability and durability of an internal mechanism without requiring a labor and time.
