摘要 |
The invention relates to recording of position-specific optical measurements of substances such as foodstuff, building materials, combustion products etc . The invention provides online, in-situ recording of wavelength absorption spectra in substances, performed without removing a sample from the substanc e. In inhomogeneous products, the position correlated to each spectrum allows f or extraction of both average values for larger regions as well as specific values characteristic for smaller individual portions. In a preferred embodiment, a probe with two elongate arms has light guiding and light collecting means for recording infrared absorption spectra of portions betwe en them, as well as means for determining an insertion distance into the produc t. The invention may be applied to as different substances as diary products (cheese, cream, milk), fruit, berries, seeds, meat, vegetable and animal fat , animal feed, water, wine, beer, lemonades, oils, rubber and plastic material s, gypsum and plaster, cement and concrete mixes, paints, glues etc.
