Abstract
A stream of ground particles is characterized by irradiating it with electromagnetic radiation and detecting electromagnetic radiation emitted from the irradiated particles. The detecting system includes an imaging system and a color image sensor for imaging the particles by way of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the particles. The color image sensor has sensor image elements for spectrally selective detection of the electromagnetic radiation.
