Abstract:
1. A device ( 10 ; 10 a ) for controlling pharmaceutical products ( 1 ), by means of a radiation source ( 11 ), comprising a storage device ( 13 ) which receives the products ( 1 ) in an uncontrolled manner, and from which the products ( 1 ) are transferred to a transport element ( 15 ) in which said products ( 1 ) are arranged end-to-end such that they form at least one row that defines an axis ( 17 ), wherein the products ( 1 ) are transported in a clocked manner in a radiation area ( 25 ) of the radiation source ( 11 ) which exposes said products ( 1 ) to radiation, wherein a first stopping device ( 20 ) for separating said products ( 1 ) in the row is arranged upstream of the radiation source ( 11 ) relative to a direction of transportation ( 18 ) of said products ( 1 ) along the axis ( 17 ) and wherein at least one sensor element ( 28 ; 28 a ) coupled to an evaluation device ( 30 ) captures radiation which passed through said products ( 1 ), characterized in that respectively at least two products ( 1 ) are separated from the row in the direction of transportation ( 18 ) while remaining on the axis ( 17 ) by means of the first stopping device ( 20 ) and are simultaneously positioned in the radiation area ( 25 ) and an image of the products ( 1 ) is captured by means of the at least one sensor element ( 28 ; 28 a ).
