Abstract

These optical system for measurement, color luminance meter and colorimeter are provided with: a stop; a light waveguide that guides incident light; a first optical system that is disposed on the object side of the stop, and forms a light image from an object to be measured on an aperture plane of the stop; and a second optical system that is disposed between the stop and the light waveguide, andcauses respective principal rays of light fluxes emitted from the aperture plane of the stop to be incident on the light waveguide such that the principal rays become parallel to a light axis.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a measuring optical system for transmitting light from an object to be measured to a light receiving unit, a color luminance meter using the measuring optical system, and a colorimeter using the measuring optical system. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, color luminance meters for measuring the color (light source color) and brightness of a luminous body as an object to be measured, and colorimeters for measuring the color (object color) of an object as an object to be measured are known to be used in various ways. Such a color luminance meter and a colorimeter use a measurement optical system that transmits light from an object to be measured to a light receiving unit, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example. [0003] The optical device for measurement disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes a light branching member having a plurality of output surfaces for branching and emitting light from an object...
