Abstract

A reflectance spectroscopy measuring and sampling system for gemstone testing is disclosed. The system includes a first light source (1), a second light source (2), a light filtering element, an integrating sphere (S), an optical fiber (9), a spectroscopic detection module (10), an analog-digital conversion module (11) and a data processing terminal (12), wherein the integrating sphere (S) is provided with an entrance port, a sampling opening (6) and a reflected light exit port (7). A reflectance spectroscopy measuring and sampling method for gemstone testing is also disclosed. The system and the method have an excellent performance and can be widely used in the gemstone identification.
