Abstract: In a spectrophotometer, light emitted from a light source is processed to provide monochromatic light by a monochromator, and reaches a sector mirror having a chopper function. The sector mirror is rotated by a motor, and a rotational frequency of the motor can be controlled by a controller. By rotation of the sector mirror, monochromatic light is alternately distributed to a sample cell and a reference cell through a mirror. In measuring a wavelength range where a detector having a photomultiplier with a fast response speed is used, the motor is rotated at a high speed, so that time for scanning a wavelength is shortened. In measuring a wavelength range where a detector having lead sulfide with a slow response speed is used, the motor is rotated at a low speed to obtain a sufficiently strong signal intensity. Accordingly, in the spectrophotometer, the analysis time can be shortened, and the sufficiently strong signal can be outputted at the same time.

Abstract: A spectrophotometric instrument including light signal sources, a detector, a processor/controller, a probe and a calibration device. The light signal sources include a source of measurement light signals having measurement light wavelengths and a source of a calibration light signal at a calibration detection wavelength which is different than the measurement light wavelengths. The probe has one or more send fibers coupled to the measurement and calibration light signal sources for transmitting the measurement light signals and the calibration light signal into tissue, and one or more receive fibers for receiving light including the measurement light signals and the calibration light signal. The calibration device is adapted to receive the probe and has an optical filter for transmitting the measurement light signals but not the calibration light signal. The detector is coupled to the receive fibers to generate electrical signals representative of the light received at the receive fibers. The processor/controller is coupled to the detector and initiates a calibration procedure when the calibration light signal is not detected.

Abstract: An improved and lower cost color spectrophotometer, especially suitable for on-line color printer color control systems, incorporating a low cost commercial imaging chip, which normally only forms part of a three row, three color, document imaging bar used for imaging documents in scanners, digital copiers, or multifunction products, having multiple photo-sites with at least three different color filters in three rows. This multiple photo-sites chip may be modified to also provide unfiltered photo-sites. This spectrophotometer may have a substantially reduced number of different LED or other spectral illumination sources, one of which may be for white light, yet provide multiple spectral data outputs from the differently filtered photo-sites being simultaneous illuminated by the light reflected from a color test target area which is being sequentially illuminated by the respective limited number of LEDs, enabling broad spectrum information and color control.
