摘要:
The invention relates to analytical instrument engineering, in particular to spectroscopy. The inventive method for measuring spectroscopic properties of bulk products consists in portionwisely supplying a sample in a measurement area. In order to fully fill said measurement area, several portions (at least two) are loaded and alternately placed substentially in different fields of the horizontal section of the measurement area in such a way that the uniformed distribution and the permanent density of the product in the area of measurement are provided. Afterwards, the spectroscopic properties of the sample are recorded in a standstill and the sample is removed from the area of measurement. The inventive device for measuring spectroscopic properties of bulk products comprises a feeding hopper, an input (receiving) opening, a batch loading unit which is provided with means for successively and uniformly distributing the product alternately in the different fields of the horizontal section of the area of measurement, a measuring unit, a unit for closing the area of measurement, an output (unloading) opening and a discharge hopper. Said invention makes it possible to ensure the high uniformity and permanent density of the product in the area of measurement during the measurement of the spectroscopic characteristics of the bulk products.

摘要:
A parallel-beam optical tomography system (4) for imaging an object of interest (1) includes a parallel ray beam radiation source (35) that illuminates the object of interest (1) with a plurality of parallel radiation beams (36). After passing through the object of interest (1) the pattern of transmitted or emitted radiation intensities is magnified by a post specimen optical element or elements. An object containing tube (2) is located within an outer tube (32), wherein the object of interest (1) is held within or flows through the object containing tube (2). A motor (34) may be coupled to rotate and/or translate the object containing tube (2) to present differing views of the object of interest (1). One or more detector arrays are located to receive the emerging radiation (68) from the post specimen magnifying optic. Two- or three-dimensional images may be reconstructed from the magnified parallel projection data.

The invention relates to a device and a method for counting of somatic cells and/or fat droplets in a milk sample. The device (14) comprises a measuring chamber (34) arranged to receive milk samples from animals, a camera (25) adapted to record images of milk samples in the measuring member (34) and image analysing means adapted to count somatic cells and/or fat droplets in the images. The device (14) comprises a cleaning means adapted to provide a flow of a cleaning liquid through the measuring chamber (34) after that a milk sample has been taken, that the camera (25) is adapted to record at least one image of the measuring chamber (34) after that it has been cleaned by the cleaning liquid and that the image analysing means (17) is adapted to count the somatic cells and/or fat droplets in the image of the cleaned measuring chamber (34).
摘要:
A self-contained system uses light reflectivity to examine the intensity of a dyed spot on a device membrane surrounded by background area to discern information about the specimen that produces the spot. A master clock (270) alternatively drives one LED (280) focussed upon the spot center, and then drives the 2 LEDs focussed on the background area.

摘要:
A method and system for automatically analyzing the presence of an analyte in a liquid specimen of biological origin are described. The liquid specimen is added to a testing substrate that has a receptor immobilized on a portion of its surface. If analyte is present in the specimen, it will specifically bind to the receptor. A labeled reagent is added to the testing substrate which will bind to the analyte, if present, and generate a color on the testing substrate. The testing substrate is then illuminated and, using electronic equipment, a digital image of its surface is acquired and automatically scanned to locate an area that has the highest color density, which corresponds to the presence of labeled reagent. A measurement of color density, corresponding to pixels per unit area, is generated. An area peripheral to the area of highest color density, which represents background density, is also located and a measured. The presence or absence of analyte in the liquid sample is determined by adjusting the measurement of labeled reagent with the background density measurement in accordance with a predefined mathematical function. In some cases, the result of the test will be interpreted as a binary, positive/negative result according to whether the measurement taken is above or below a given threshold. In other cases, a continuous range of values may be generated from different samples that correspond to the concentration of the analyte present in each tested sample.
