Abstract
A photometer for a reproduction machine in which the light reflected from a document, illuminated with light through a slit, is condensed by a condensing lens, the condensed light is diffused by a diffusion plate, and then the diffused light is detected by a plurality of sensors for a photometric test. The sensors are arranged along the width of an image of the document formed through the slit. Therefore, a reliable photometric test can be made even on such a document which has different colors on opposite sides of the intermediate portion of the slit along its length.
