SPECTROMETER
First Claim
1. Transmission spectrometer comprising a sensor to which, through at least one optical waveguide for emitted radiation, the radiation of at least one radiation source can be introduced, in order to direct it on and/or in an object to be investigated, and with an optical waveguide for detected radiation spaced from the sensor, through which radiation, which was scattered by, transmitted by and/or emitted by the object to be investigated can be introduced to a radiation detector connected to an evaluation unit, the transmission spectrometer further comprising a plurality of radiation sources, each having an adjustable radiation intensity, and which have an emission spectrum which is broadband either per radiation source or for all radiation sources together, and each of which is coupled directly to an optical waveguide for emitted radiation, the radiation detector detecting the entire spectrum of the radiation which is entered in the optical waveguide for detected radiation by diffuse and/or directional reflection, transmission, emission and/or fluorescence, and in the evaluation unit, as a function of at least one program which can be selected through an operating unit for the calculation of at least one parameter, at least the intensity of one given wavelength can be processed, and the evaluation unit is in working connection with the radiation sources in such a way that, depending on the selected program, the intensity of the radiation emitted from each radiation source can be adjusted individually, and wavelengths with corresponding intensities, which arrive from the radiation detector to the evaluation unit, can be selected.

Abstract
A reflection spectrometer provided with a probe to which the radiation of at least one radiation source can be transmitted by at least one radiation emission conductor transmitter in such a way that said radiation source can be directed to or in an investigated object and which makes it possible to transmit radiation to or in an investigated object and/or emitted by such object to a radiation receiver that can be connected to an evaluation unit by means of at least one radiation emission conductor. The disclosure also relates to a transmitted light spectrometer which includes a probe to which the radiation of at least one radiation source can be transmitted by at least one radiation emission conductor in such a way that the radiation source can be directed to or in an investigated object. The spectrometer includes at least one remote radiation emission conductor of the probe which is used for transmitting radiation to or in an investigated object to a radiation receiver which can be connected to an evaluation unit.
