An optical system includes an illumination module configured to illuminate a sample object with at least one angle-variable illumination geometry. The optical system includes an imaging optical unit configured to produce an imaged representation of the sample object that is illuminated with the at least one angle-variable illumination geometry on a detector. The optical system includes the detector, which is configured to capture at least one image of the sample object based on the imaged representation. The optical system includes a controller configured to determine a result image based on a transfer function and the at least one image. A method includes illuminating a sample object with at least one angle-variable illumination geometry, imaging the sample object on a detector, based on the imaged representation, capturing at least one image of the sample object, and, based on a transfer function and the at least one image, determining a result image.

An optical testing device for use in testing an optical measuring instrument provides incident light from a light source to an incident object and receives reflected light due to reflection of the incident light at the incident object. The optical testing device includes an incident light receiving section that receives incident light, and a light signal providing section. The light signal providing section provides a light signal to the incident object after a predetermined delay time since the incident light receiving section has received the incident light. A reflected light signal due to reflection of the light signal at the incident object is provided to the optical measuring instrument. The delay time is approximately equal to the time between emission of the incident light from the light source and reception of the reflected light by the optical measuring instrument in the case of actually using the optical measuring instrument.

A beverage bottle transport device in a beverage bottling plant. The abstract of the disclosure is submitted herewith as required by 37 C.F.R. §1.72(b). As stated in 37 C.F.R. §1.72(b): A brief abstract of the technical disclosure in the specification must commence on a separate sheet, preferably following the claims, under the heading “Abstract of the Disclosure.” The purpose of the abstract is to enable the Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and gist of the technical disclosure. The abstract shall not be used for interpreting the scope of the claims. Therefore, any statements made relating to the abstract are not intended to limit the claims in any manner and should not be interpreted as limiting the claims in any manner.

A lighting for defect inspection of sheet-shaped objects includes: an elongated light application unit configured to apply illumination light to a sheet-shaped object, the light application unit extending in a second direction that is orthogonal to a first direction on a surface of the sheet-shaped object; a first light shielding unit that is located on a light path from the light application unit to the sheet-shaped object, the first light shielding unit having light shielding sections and opening sections alternately arranged; and a second light shielding unit that is located between the first light shielding unit and the sheet-shaped object, the second light shielding unit having light shielding sections and opening sections alternately arranged in a direction parallel to the second direction.

A surface inspection system for inspecting the surface of sheet elements present in an inspection area: The system includes two light sources arranged adjacent each other on opposite sides of an illumination plane, and a camera for capturing line images of the inspection area along a viewing plane. The illumination plane and the viewing plane are arranged on opposite sides of a median plane perpendicular to an inspection plane. The angle between the illumination plane and the median plane is the same as the angle between the viewing plane and the median plane. In a method of using the system, the first light source illuminates the sheet element before the second light sources does. An image evaluation unit compares the captured line images with each other.
