Illuminating system for the visual inspection of objects

Details

Inventors: Willing, Achim;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Rosenberger; Richard A.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Weintraub; Arnold S.

An illuminating system for the visual inspection of objects is proposed, in which a partly reflecting mirror directing the radiation onto the object is arranged crosswise in the optical path of a light source. An observer optical path is directed onto the object over the side of the partly reflecting mirror remote from the light source. There is also a light trap arranged in such a way that it absorbs the residual radiation not directed onto the object, which passes through the mirror or which is reflected on the mirror surface remote from the object.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
An illuminating system for visual inspection of objects with a light source, characterized in that: (a) a partly reflecting mirror is arranged crosswise in the optical path of a light source and directs radiation onto an object being inspected; (b) an observer optical path is directed over the side of the partly reflecting mirror remote from the light source onto an object to be inspected; (c) a light trap is provided which is arranged is such a way that it absorbs residual radiation not directed onto an object to be inspected, which passes through the partly reflecting mirror or which is reflected on the surface of the partly reflecting mirror remote from the object; the light trap having a directional, reflecting, non-volume dispersing front-surface mirror, which deflects the residual radiation onto an absorbing surface; and, (d) the light source, partly reflecting mirror and light trap being arranged in a casing with two facing openings, (1) between which the partly reflecting mirror is arranged in a sloping manner, (2) one opening facing an object to be inspected and being open, and (3) the other opening being covered by an optical element.
2.
An illuminating system according to claim 1, characterized in that the light trap is constructed as a, black surface.
3.
An illuminating system according to claim 1, characterized in that the front-surface mirror comprises a directionally reflecting and transmitting disk, which is provided on one surface with a black coating.
4.
An illuminating system according to claim 1, characterized in that magnifying optics are arranged downstream of the partly reflecting mirror in the flow of light from the light source.
5.
An illuminating system according to claim 1, characterized in that imaging optics are arranged downstream of the partly reflecting mirror in the flow of light from the light source.
6.
An illuminating system according to claim 1, characterized in that the light source is constructed in such a way that it emits a narrow beam of parallel radiation
