Abstract
An apparatus () for measuring not only the reflected radiation but also the fluorescence emission of a textile sample (), which includes a presentation subsystem () having a viewing window (). A radiation subsystem () has a tunable radiation source () for directing a desired radiation () having a wavelength range and an intensity through the viewing window () toward the sample (), and thereby causing the sample () to produce a fluorescence (). A sensing subsystem () has an imager () for capturing the reflected radiation and fluorescence () in an array of pixels. A control subsystem () has a processor () for controlling the presentation subsystem (), the radiation subsystem (), and the sensing subsystem (), and creates a reflected radiation and fluorescence image containing both spectral information and spatial information in regard to the reflected radiation and fluorescence () of the sample ().
