Abstract
A device for inspecting a hair sample. The device comprises a measuring area configured to accommodate a hair sample and an imaging unit for receiving light flux reflected from the measuring area. The imaging unit outputs an image of the hair sample located in the measuring area. The device further comprises a spectral-analysis unit configured for receiving the light flux. The spectral-analysis unit outputs spectral analysis measurements of the hair sample according to the received light flux.
Claims27
A device for inspecting a hair sample, said device comprising:
- a measuring area configured to accommodate a hair sample;
- an imaging unit configured over a first light path, for receiving light flux reflected from said measuring area, thereby outputting an image of said hair sample;
- and
- a spectral-analysis unit configured over a second light path, for receiving said light flux, therefrom to provide spectral analysis measurements of said hair sample, said first and second light paths being configured with a light switch such that each light path is used consecutively in alternating manner.
A device for inspecting a hair sample, said device comprising:
- a spectral sensor;
- an image sensor;
- a processing unit, associated with said sensors, configured for analyzing said hair sample by processing signals from said spectral sensor and configured for generating display signals according to said image sensor;
- and
- a path-diversion element configured for receiving a reflection of light and irradiating both of said spectral analysis and image sensors consecutively in alternating manner with said reflection.
A method for analyzing a hair sample, said method comprising:
- a) emitting light flux toward said hair sample;
- b) receiving a reflection of said light flux;
- c) diverting said reflection consecutively in alternating manner toward a plurality of sensors;
- and
- d) analyzing properties of said hair sample according to outputs from at least one of said plurality of sensors.
