Patent

CA 2313690

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for determining the color and/or composition of a material. A sample of the material is illuminated with at least three separate illumination bands singly or in combination, said illumination bands collectively substantially spanning at least the visible range. The light reflected or transmitted by the sample is measured with at least four light detector elements responsive to light in wavelength bands which substantially span the visible range when the sample is illuminated. The width of the illumination bands differs in such a manner that the illumination bands are narrowest near the expected fluorescence absorption bands.

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant de déterminer la couleur et/ou la composition d'un matériau. On illumine un échantillon du matériau à l'aide d'au moins trois bandes d'éclairement séparées, individuellement ou combinées les unes aux autres, lesdites bandes d'éclairement couvrant collectivement, dans une large mesure, au moins la gamme visible. On mesure la lumière réfléchie ou transmise par l'échantillon à l'aide d'au moins quatre éléments détecteurs de lumière sensibles à la lumière dans des bandes de longueur d'ondes qui couvrent dans une large mesure la gamme visible lorsque l'échantillon est éclairé. La largeur des bandes d'éclairement diffère de telle manière que les bandes d'éclairement sont le plus étroites près des bandes d'absorption de fluorescence prévues.
