SeedCount Scanner NIR-SC6000TR-Transmission and Reflectance + Touch Screen PC
The Seed Count NIR-SC6000TR scanner operates in both
reflectance and transmission modes. Reflectance scans are
made by illuminating the grains or seeds from above the
tray and collecting the reflected images using a line scan camera mounted on the transport system.
Transmission scans are collected by illuminating a sample of grains or seeds placed in a tray with a glass window
under the grains or seeds. The sample is illuminated from below and the image is collected using the same line
scan camera. The transmission image can show the internal characteristics of the grains or seeds if the light
passes through the seeds. Transmission images are only useful for transparent seeds.
The Seed Count NIR-SC6000 image Analyser is designed to scan
seeds on a tray and to measure the physical characteristics
such as colour, size, shape, defects, inclusions, etc.
Seed Count uses a modified flatbed desktop scanner,
sample trays and a touch screen personal computer to
create a digital image of grains and seeds. The Seed Count
software then analyses the image to calculate the number
of seeds that exhibit each parameter. Seed Count software
use a parameteric approach to determines other
characteristics of the seeds including Black Point, Black
Tip, Cracked Seeds, Broken Seeds and others.
