Abstract
A device for irradiation of small particles, such as grains from cereals and like crops, for analysis of the quality of the particles, comprises a sample-feeding carrier (30), which has sample holders and is adapted to take up particle samples (2), which each comprise at least one particle, in the sample holders and transport the particle samples (2) to a place for irradiation (34). The device further comprises a radiating device (36) emitting electromagnetic radiation for irradiation of the particle samples (2), and radiation guides (22). The radiation guides (22) are attached on the sample-feeding carrier (30) for guiding the radiation emitted by the radiating device (36) to a particle sample (2) in a sample holder, when the particle sample (2) has been fed to the place for irradiation (34).
