Au moins l'une de ces caméras (32) est en noir et blanc et au moins l'une d'elles est en couleurs.

Le stroboscope permet à chaque caméra (32) de saisir une image fixe du spécimen (22). Les caméras en noir et blanc (32) saisissent des images qui permettent de déterminer si la configuration extérieure de l´article est acceptable. La (les) caméra(s) en couleurs (30) saisit (saisissent) une image qui permet de déterminer si la coloration du spécimen (22) est acceptable.
