Color/optical characteristics measuring systems and methods are disclosed. Perimeter receiver fiber optics/elements are spaced apart from a central source fiber optic/element and received light reflected from the surface of the object is measured. Light from the perimeter fiber optics pass to a variety of filters. The system utilizes the perimeter receiver fiber optics to determine information regarding the height and angle of the probe with respect to the object being measured. Under processor control, the color measurement may be made at a predetermined height and angle. Various color spectral photometer arrangements are disclosed. Translucency, fluorescence and/or surface texture data also may be obtained. Audio feedback may be provided to guide operator use of the system. The probe may have a removable or shielded tip for contamination prevention.
摘要:
A color measurement method performs a color measurement in which an influence of a fluorescent brightening age included in a printed form is corrected. With respect to the influence of the fluorescent brightening age, a measurement is performed only on a white portion of the printed form. With respect to the color patches constituting a color chart, a correction is performed by a correction quantity in which a reference correction quantity for correcting the influence of the white portion is weighted.
摘要:
Light from an object such as a cell moving through an imaging system is collected and dispersed so that it can be imaged onto a detector. The light can be emitted from a luminous object or can be light from a light source that has been scattered or not absorbed by the object or can include a light emission by one or more probes within or on the object. Multiple objects passing through the imaging system can be imaged, producing both scatter images and dispersed images at different locations on one or more detectors. In one embodiment, the detector is divided into a plurality of zones so that each of a plurality of different images are spectrally dispersed onto a different zone of the detector.

An optical channel monitoring device uses a linear variable filter (LVF) disposed in the path of a beam of light for selectively transmitting light in a variable manner along a length of the filter, a photodetector array positioned in the path of light transmitted through the LVF for measuring spectral characteristics of the transmitted light, and collimating means disposed between the input port and the LVF for collimating said beam of light. The device is a low-cost, compact and rugged high-resolution spectrometer for various uses.
摘要:
The present invention provides a simple, robust, and versatile high-resolution spectrometer that is suitable for downhole use. The present invention provides a method and apparatus incorporating a spinning, oscillating or stepping optical interference filter to change the angle at which light passes through the filters after passing through a sample under analysis downhole. As each filter is tilted, the color or wavelength of light passed by the filter changes. Black plates are placed between the filters to isolate each filter's photodiode. The spectrometer of the present invention is suitable for use with a wire line formation tester, such as the Baker Atlas Reservation Characterization Instrument to provide supplemental analysis and monitoring of sample clean up. The present invention is also suitable for deployment in a monitoring while drilling environment. The present invention provides a high resolution spectometer which enables quantification of a crude oil's percentage of aromatics, olefins, and saturates to estimate a sample's gas oil ratio (GOR). Gases such as CO2 are also detectable. The percentage of oil-based mud filtrate contamination in a crude oil sample can be estimated with the present invention by using a suitable training set and chemometrics, a neural network, or other type of correlation method.
