A machine vision system that uses an imager to capture an optical image of a target object that may contain a liquid. The target object is illuminated by an illumination source positioned oppositely from the imager and a predetermined pattern is positioned between the illumination source and the target object so that the imager will capture optical images of the background pattern through any liquid positioned in the target object. A processor is programmed to analyze captured images to detect any distortions of the pattern that are attributable to the presence of a liquid in the target object.
