Abstract: An apparatus for optically inspecting an at least partially reflecting surface of an object includes first and second transverse carriers (12, 14) defining respective substantially circular segment-shaped cutouts (32). The transverse carriers (12, 14) are disposed at a longitudinal distance (D) from one another and the longitudinal distance (D) defines a longitudinal direction (17). A plurality of longitudinal members are configured to hold the first and second transverse carriers at the longitudinal distance (D). The longitudinal members are arranged at a defined radial distance to the circular segment-shaped cutouts. A translucent diffusing screen is held in the circular segment-shaped cutouts by the transverse carriers to form a tunnel-shaped inspection space. A multiplicity of light sources are arranged outside of the tunnel-shaped inspection space behind the diffusing screen. The light sources are configured to be controlled individually or in small groups to generate variable light-dark patterns on the diffusing screen. A workpiece receptacle is configured for accommodating the object in the tunnel-shaped inspection space. At least one camera is directed into the tunnel-shaped inspection space. An evaluation and control unit is configured to control the light sources and the camera to generate various light-dark patterns on the diffusing screen and to record and evaluate a plurality of images of the object in dependence on the light-dark patterns.

Abstract: Perspective distortion inspecting equipment (1) comprising an LED plate (3), a CCD camera (4), and a computer (6). The LED plate has a plurality of target marks (T) inclining at 45 degrees. Under a state where a panel (2) is arranged between the LED plate and the CCD camera, the computer lights the target marks one by one and the lighted target mark is photographed by the CCD camera. The computer calculates a perspective distortion (R) based on the distance between a virtual line (K) connecting the images on the LED at the opposite ends of each target mark and the image of the LED located in the middle of the target mark.

Abstract: An illumination head (1) for machine vision has an annular support (2) with first, second, third, and fourth illumination sections (3, 4, 5, and 6). The third section (5) has three sets of LEDs (12, 13, 14) arranged in a pattern so that each set illuminates at approximately the same angle. Each set is driven in succession so that a series of three monochrome images at the same angle are captured. These are superimposed by an image processor to provide a color image, although the camera is monochrome. More information can be obtained in such a color image and the high resolution and robustness of monochrome cameras is availed of.

Abstract: A machine for inspecting a container which is being conveyed along a linear path. The machine has spaced left hand and right hand cabinets in front of the linear path with the space therebetween being space in which an operator can stand to be proximate to the linear path. The machine has left hand and right hand inspection stations which include a left-hand assembly located in front of the linear path and a right hand assembly located in front of the linear path. These assemblies are pivotally mounted about vertical axes so that they can be pivoted from a closed position proximate the liner path to a retracted position away from the linear path. At the retracted position an operator can enter the machine and service the inspection stations.

Abstract: The matrix biochip sensing system of this invention uses a low-cost LED (light emit diode) matrix as the light source for the sensing system. The matrix biochip sensing system comprises an LED matrix light source, a biochip clamping member, an optical information filter module, an optical lens array, an optical sensor and a signal processing and control module. The light spots of the LED matrix is turned on in sequence, such that the fluorescent spots of the biochip that are respectively corresponding to the light spots of the laser diodes matrix may be actuated in the same sequence. Fluorescent spots so actuated are focused to a single optical sensor through an optical lens. At each sensing cycle of the optical sensor, only one fluorescent spot may be actuated. The output of the optical sensor in combination of the time axis may be processed by the signal processing and control module to obtain the genetic signals of the biochip.

Abstract: This invention relates generally to devices, systems, and methods for performing biological assays by using indicators that modify one or more optical properties of the assayed biological samples. The subject methods include generating a reaction product by carrying out a biochemical reaction on the biological sample introduced into a device and reacting the reaction product with an indicator capable of generating a detectable change in an optical property of the biological sample to indicate the presence, absence, or amount of analyte suspected to be present in the sample.
