Perimeter receiver fiber optics are spaced apart from a central source fiber optic and receive light reflected from the surface of the object being measured. Light from the perimeter fiber optics pass to a variety of filters. The system utilizes the perimeter receiver fiber optics to determine information regarding the height and angle of the probe with respect to the object being measured. Under processor control, the color measurement may be made at a predetermined height and angle. Various color spectral photometer arrangements are disclosed. Translucency, fluorescence and/or surface texture data also may be obtained. Audio feedback may be provided to guide operator use of the system. The probe may have a removable or shielded tip for contamination prevention.
What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising the steps of:positioning a probe in proximity to an object, wherein the probe provides light to a surface of the object from one or more light sources, and receives light from the object through a plurality of light receivers, wherein one or more of the light receivers are coupled to one or more first optical sensors for generating data indicative of spectral characteristics of the object, and wherein one or more of the light receivers are coupled to one or more second optical sensors for generating data indicative of translucence characteristics of the object; taking a plurality of first and second measurements with the first and second optical sensors; and determining optical characteristics of the object based on the first and second measurements. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the optical characteristics comprise color characteristics.
