<p>In an optical density checking apparatus, a 0.7- mu m first light beam (B1) not transmitted through shredded leaf tobacco (LS) and a 1.3- mu m second light beam (B2) transmitted through the shredded leaf tobacco (LS), which are from first and second light sources (12, 14), are synthesized, and an obtained synthetic light beam (B12) is applied to a tobacco rod (TR). The projected light quantities, reflected light quantities, and passing light quantities of the first and second light beams (B1, B2) are measured by a composite light-receiving element (27, 43, 57), projected light quantity control circuit (36), and arithmetic circuit (48). The arithmetic circuit (48) calculates the transmitted light quantity of the second light beam (B2) transmitted through the shredded leaf tobacco (LS) on the basis of the projected light quantities, reflected light quantities, and passing light quantities of the first and second light beams (B1, B2), and calculates the density of the shredded leaf tobacco (LS) on the basis of the transmitted light quantity. <IMAGE></p> |
