Abstract: A sampling accessory coupled to a hand-held reflectance spectrometer provides expanded sampling area which in turn provides better signal averaging from agricultural products which are often inhomogeneous. The sampling accessory includes a sample site repositioning means and a “sample cup” having a base that is transparent to near IR wavelengths.The hand-held reflectance spectrometer includes a shutter responsive to control signals from the control circuitry. When the shutter is closed, a reference measurement may be made. When the shutter is open, a sample measurement is taken.Sample repositioning and data acquisition within the cup may be performed by several means. Fresh sample regions may be exposed through either manual or motor driven sample cup rotation. Alternatively, the sample may be vibrated to induce fresh sample exposure at the window. A further embodiment includes illumination and/or detection paths that may be altered through electrically driven steering optics.

Abstract: An optical scanning or positioning mechanism has a head on which optical components are mounted and an actuator coupled to the head to cause the head to move when the actuator is actuated. There are one or more sets of flexure bearings mounted in the mechanism. The flexure bearings have a restoring torque when moved from a rest position. The bearings are coupled to the head to allow the head to move when actuated by the actuator. One or more magnets are mounted in the mechanism in a location other than in the actuator to compensate for the flexure bearings restoring torque.
