An apparatus for optically analyzing products such as fruit for automatic sorting, includes a device ( 1, 2 ) for conveying the products in a continuous line in a longitudinal direction, at least one station for optically analyzing the external surface of the products, a device for illuminating the products having at least one illumination chamber ( 30 ) through which the conveying device ( 1, 2 ) passes and which is provided with at least one light source ( 26, 28 ) arranged above the products and adapted to provide indirect illumination of the products by a diffuse light prevailing in the illumination chamber ( 30 ). At least one screen ( 27 ) is arranged between each light source ( 26, 28 ) and each conveying line ( 1, 2 ) to protect the products from debris that might originate from the light source ( 26, 28 ).
