Abstract:
A target, which is photographed with an object at a spot for a photogrammetric analytical measurement, includes a first bar and a second bar that are connected to each other; at least three standard point members, lying on one plane, and fixed on the first bar and the second bar; and non-reflecting members that are respectively attachable to and removable from said at least three standard points. The at least three standard point members may respectively include a circular portion, a diameter of which substantially equals a width of the first bar and the second bar. Each of the non-reflecting members includes a circular plate defining a circular opening, a diameter of which substantially equals the diameter of the circular portion of the three standard point members.

Abstract:
A calibrator for a sorting device, with a conveyor running in the conveying direction T for sorting articles resembling each other, such as well-determined kinds of vegetables or fruits, the calibrator being used for repeatedly testing and calibrating a light beam coming from a test article, resembling, and obtained in the same manner as, the beams obtained when sorting the above articles, comprising: a first holder for a light receiving device, for instance a light fiber end with which the light beam from either an above article or the test article is received and passed from there further to a detection device, and a second holder with the test article placed therein, characterised in that the second holder is movably connected with the first holder between a test position and a rest position, the position of the test article in the test position at least substantially corresponding to the position of an article when sorting, in the test position the light beam being passed along a light guide path successively from the test article through the second holder to the light receiving device, more in particular characterised in that in the test position the light guide path is completed screened from the surroudings. Such a second holder may be slidable or rotatable. Advantageously, when sorting large amounts of articles calibration can be effected without interrupting the sorting.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a device for calibrating an optical detection channel for a two-dimensional, spatially dependent measurement of fluorescent or luminescent radiation in multi-specimen carriers. The object of the invention, to find a novel possibility for calibrating an optical detection channel for a two-dimensional, spatially dependent measurement of fluorescent or luminescent radiation in multi-specimen carriers permitting a highly accurate calibration of the spatial sensitivity distribution of the sensor array in the detection channel which is economical, can be repeated at any time and can be adapted to the intensity level of the measurement task, is met according to the invention by providing a plate-shaped housing which is manufactured in the shape and size of the multi-specimen carriers under examination and has, on its side facing the detection channel, a large-area rectangular window whose size is adapted to the surface of the multi-specimen carrier under examination, which surface is provided with wells, and there is a luminescent foil inside the housing which is arranged parallel to the window so as to cover its surface, and a power source and control units are provided in the housing for controlling the luminescent foil, so that the luminescent foil can be controlled for homogeneous emission of luminescent light through the window of the housing in different intensity levels.
Abstract:
A multi-modality fluorescence reference plate comprising wells coated with a fluorogenic compound is described, together with a method of producing such a plate. The plate has utility for calibrating fluorescent plate readers and imaging systems for measuring steady-state fluorescence, time-resolved fluorescence, fluorescence lifetime and/or fluorescence polarisation.

The present invention provides a photometric reference member comprising PTFE and glass. The member exhibits an absorbance change of less than 0.0001 absorbance units per degree C. over a range of temperatures, preferably from about 20null C. to about 40null C., and over wavelengths from about 600 nm to about 1650 nm, preferably about 600 nm to about 1050 nm. The invention also pertains to methods of using the photometric reference member to correct for temperature variations or drift in absorbance measurements.

A calibration artifact and a method of calibrating a machine vision measurement system. The calibration artifact includes a substrate and a number of concentric rings on one surface of the substrate. Each ring is of a different pre-defined size. The change in the size of any two adjacent rings is different than the change in size of any other two adjacent rings.
Abstract:
A method for calibrating an inspection machine including a plurality of displacement detectors for inspecting a production part and a linear motion stage for relative motion between the displacement detectors and the production part. The method includes determining relative positional errors of the displacement detectors relative to each other, determining the effect of motion stage errors on a first detector from the plurality of displacement detectors as a function of position of the motion stage, and determining the effect of motion stage errors on the remaining displacement detectors as a function of position of the motion stage.
