A spectroscope includes: a light incidence section that allows light from an outside to be incident; a diffraction grating that disperses wavelengths of the light incident on the diffraction grating by the light incidence section; a light reflector having a reflecting surface having an inclination variable around a rotation axis of the reflecting surface; and a light emitter that emits the light reflected by the light reflector to the outside. At least one of the light incidence section, the diffraction grating, and the light reflector, and the light emitter are changeable in a direction orthogonal to the rotation axis. The position of the light emitter is changeable in a direction along a center axis of the light emitted from the light emitter.

A device and method tests preforms that are rotationally symmetrical with respect to an axis of rotation during their conveyance along a conveyance path. The device and method tests only a statistically relevant number of produced preforms, thus allowing substantial reduction in the constructive complexity required for aligning the preforms prior to being tested. A certain number of preforms that have not been correctly aligned are allowed to continue along the conveyance path without being tested.

The systems and methods include generating polarization-switched (PS) detector and reference signals using a polarization switch controlled by a digital control signal generated by digital input/output card. A gain adjustment is performed on the PS detector and reference signals to define gain-adjusted detector and reference signals. The digital control signal is used to synchronize the gain-adjusted PS detector and reference signals to define gain-adjusted synchronized PS detector and reference signals each having respective steady-state portions. The steady state portions are used to define a measurement signal. The measurement signal is then used to calculate a stress-based characteristic of the sample being measured. The sample can be moved continuously or discretely through different measurement positions, which are synchronized with the operation of the polarization switch using the digital control signal.

An optical measurement device and an optical measurement method are provided. The optical measurement device includes a test backplane, a light emitter, a center point detector and a movement device. The movement device is provided on the test backplane, and configured to carry a to-be-tested sample. The light emitter is configured to display a first center point on the to-be-tested sample, and the first center point corresponds to a center point of the test backplane. The center point detector is configured to detect a second center point and display the second center point on the to-be-tested sample, and the second center point is a center point of the to-be-tested sample. The movement device is further configured to move the to-be-tested sample, such that the first center point and the second center point coincide with each other.

A computer-implemented method for performing photometric cuvette mapping includes detecting edges associated with a plurality of gaps between a plurality of vessels in a reaction ring during a complete rotation of a reaction ring. Each gap is determined according to an edge detection process which includes identifying: a vessel interior in response to detection of a first predetermined number of photometer device control manager (DCM) measurements below a threshold value; a rising edge in response to detection of a second predetermined number of photometer DCM measurements above the threshold value; and identifying a falling edge in response to detection of a third predetermined number of photometer DCM measurements below the threshold value. The edge detection process further includes recording the rising edge and the falling edge as being indicative of one of the plurality of gaps.
