Patent ID: 11169086

Abstract:
An immersion probe system is provided for simultaneously performing first analysis of a first portion of light originating from liquids and/or particles in a fluid and second analysis of a second portion of the light originating from the liquids and/or particles. The system defines an optical axis and includes a first component including a first analyzer, a window, and a first optical path extending between the window and the first analyzer. The system also includes a second component including a second analyzer, the window, and a second optical path extending between the window and the second analyzer. The system further includes a spectral selector placed in the first optical path and in the second optical path to direct the first portion of the light, which originates from the liquids and/or particles and passes through the window, to the first analyzer, and to direct the second portion of said light to the second analyzer. The system includes an illumination path that delivers illumination light or lights based on a beam(s) that passes through the window at an oblique or normal angle to the optical axis. The first component and the second component share a common optical path at least between the window and the spectral selector.
