Abstract:
A color measuring apparatus includes a measurement assembly which includes at least one illumination assembly for applying substantially parallel illumination light to a measurement spot of a measurement object and a pick-up assembly for capturing the measurement light radiated back from the measurement spot in an observation direction and for converting the same into corresponding electrical signals. The illumination assembly includes at least two illumination subassemblies which illuminate the measurement spot from different illumination sub-directions near a first preset nominal illumination direction, each with preferably parallel illumination light. By the illumination from different illumination sub-directions slightly deviating from the nominal illumination direction, angular errors of the illumination assembly can be compensated for in a simple manner.

Claim (Index 15):
A method of providing illumination angle error compensation in a color measurement device, the measurement device including at least a first illumination assembly having a first nominal illumination direction with respect to a measurement spot of a measurement object, the first illumination assembly including at least two illumination subassemblies each including a light source and having illumination sub-directions which are angularly offset to each other by an angle (\u0394\u03b5) of 4\u00b0-8\u00b0 and enclose the first nominal illumination direction between them, and a pick-up assembly for capturing the measurement light radiated back from the measurement spot along an observation direction and for converting the same into corresponding electrical signals, said method comprising profiling the measurement device by:\n performing separate calibration measurements of a reference measurement object with each illumination subassembly providing illumination at their respective actual illumination sub-directions; \n determining adjustment parameters for the first illumination assembly from the calibration measurements such that measurements made by the color measurement device coincide with measurements made with illumination at the first nominal illumination direction; and \n storing the adjustment parameters in data storage of the color measuring device.
