Frequently Asked Questions
What are the advantages of using UV and InGaAs cameras in the sorting process?
UV cameras effectively identify mold, fungi, and other contaminants that are invisible to visible light, helping to detect and reject seeds contaminated with aflatoxins, for example. On the other hand, the use of InGaAs cameras in the sorting process of grains and seeds allows for the identification and elimination of grains with altered internal structures—soft or moldy seeds inside.
How does sorting with InGaAs cameras differ from traditional optical sorting?
Sorting with InGaAs cameras differs from traditional optical sorting primarily in the range of light spectrum analyzed. Standard optical systems use RGB cameras that assess the appearance of seed surfaces in the visible light spectrum, allowing for the detection of discoloration, damage, or shape differences. In contrast, InGaAs technology operates in the near-infrared (NIR) range, enabling the identification of differences in seed density, not just color.
Can Meyer sorters detect seeds contaminated with aflatoxins?
Yes, Meyer sorters can detect seeds contaminated with aflatoxins. They use UV cameras to identify fluorescence changes in seeds, which may indicate the presence of mold and fungi producing aflatoxins.
