    摘要: The invention relates to an apparatus for the investigation of surface properties with a housing, a light source which directs light through an opening in the housing onto a surface to be investigated, with a first detector device which is arranged inside at a first pre-set angle with respect to the light beam radiated onto the surface by the light source, with a second detector device which is arranged at a second pre-set angle with respect to the light beam radiated onto the surface by the light source and with a third detector device which is arranged inside the housing at a third pre-set angle with respect to the light beam radiated onto the surface by the light source. According to the invention the apparatus has at least two filter elements with optical properties which are different from each other which are arranged on a common carrier movable with respect to the light source, in such a way that each of these filter elements is optionally capable of being brought into a beam path between the light source and the surface.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method of imaging an interior of a turbid medium (45) comprising the following steps: accommodation of the turbid medium (45) inside a receiving volume (20); coupling transmission input light (65) from a transmission light source into the receiving volume (12), with said transmission input light (65) being chosen such that it is capable of propagating through the turbid medium (45) and with at least a part of said transmission input light (65) passing through a matching medium (50) in the receiving volume (12), said matching medium (50) being chosen to reduce optical boundary effects at an interface between the turbid medium (45) and its surroundings; detection of transmission output light emanating from the receiving volume as a result of coupling transmission input light (65) from the transmission light source into the receiving volume (12) through use of a transmission photodetector unit. The invention also relates to a system for imaging an interior of a turbid medium (45) and a medical image acquisition system both using the method. According to the invention, the method, system for imaging an interior of a turbid medium (45), and medical image acquisition system are adapted such that data relating to the exterior of the turbid medium (45) can be obtained. This object is realized in that the method further comprises the following additional steps: coupling geometry input light (70, 75, 80) from a geometry light source into the receiving volume (12), with the receiving volume comprising the turbid medium (45), with the receiving volume (12) further comprising a geometry medium (60) for surrounding the turbid medium (45) during coupling of geometry input light (70, 75, 80) into the receiving volume (12), and with the combination of the geometry input light (70, 75, 80), the geometry medium (60), and the interface being chosen for creating a contrast between the turbid medium and its surroundings; —detection of the contrast between the turbid medium (45) and its surroundings; reconstructing an image of an interior of the turbid medium (45) using the detected contrast.

    摘要: A beam splitter array includes first and second beam splitters and a reflector to reflect part of a beam from the second splitter. The first splitter outputs a first beam having a power spectral density comprising a substantial portion of a white light spectrum from a first output port, and a second beam of optical radiation having a power spectral density comprising a substantial portion of a first non-white spectrum and a substantial portion of a second non-white spectrum from a second output port, from an input beam received at a first angle of incidence. The second splitter receives the second beam at a second incidence angle, and reflects a substantial portion of the second beam having a power spectral density comprising the first non-white light spectrum, and transmits a substantial portion of the second beam having a power spectral density comprising the second non-white light spectrum.
