Abstract
A light source for a sorting apparatus is described and which includes an illuminator having a multiplicity of modules which are electrically coupled together, and which further include a plurality of light emitting diodes which can be selectively energized, by a computer network so as to parametrically control a temporal, spatial, and spectral energizing of the respective modules; and a light diffuser member is located in spaced relation relative to the illuminator, and which passes and substantially renders a visibly luminous or invisible emission substantially uniform.
