Optical resonance analysis system

An optical resonance analysis system comprising:

• illumination means for generating illumination of varying angles further comprising:
• a source comprised of an array of elements for generating illumination at a pluralty of fixed angles;
• and
• a lens system for projecting said illumination at said plurality of fixed angles;
• sensor means on which said illumination impinges which reflects or transmits said illumination;
• and,
• detection means for detecting said reflected or transmitted illumination.

An optical resonance analysis system comprising:

• sensor means;
• illumination means for generating non-monochromatic illumination having a plurality of wavelengths further comprising:
• means for generating illumination at a plurality of angles;
• a lens system for projecting said illumination at said plurality of angles;
• and
• a dispersive device for dispersing said illumination at each of said plurality of angles so that there is a correlation between said plurality of angles and the wavelengths of said illumination such that a resonance condition is generated on said sensor means for all wavelengths generated by said non-monochromatic source simultaneously;
• detection means for detecting said reflected or transmitted illumination.

An optical resonance analysis system comprising:

• illumination means for generating illumination further comprising:
• a source;
• and
• positioning means for independently positioning said source rotationally and axially;
• sensor means on which said illumination impinges which reflects or transmits said illumination;
• and,
• detection means for detecting said reflected or transmitted illumination.

Positioning means for independently positioning an item rotationally and axially comprising:

• a housing;
• rotation means for rotating said source
• a cylinder having pseudo-helical slots;
• and
• pins extending from said rotation means to engage said pseudo-helical slots.

An optical resonance analysis system comprising:

• illumination means for generating illumination;
• anamorphic imaging means
• sensor means on which said illumination impinges which reflects or transmits said illumination;
• and,
• detection means for detecting said reflected or transmitted illumination.
