Device for the examination of hatching eggs from the sixteenth day of incubation

摘要

The invention relates to devices for the examination of hatching eggs from the sixteenth day of incubation. The devices are characterized in particular by the fact that properties of the hatching eggs themselves and / or the embryos in the hatching eggs can be determined. For this purpose, a carrier with hatching eggs arranged at a distance from one another is provided between a source for arranged electromagnetic waves and a hyperspectral camera, which further has cutouts for placement of the hatching eggs and light-tight coupling of the electromagnetic waves. Between the hatching eggs are partitions. The source of electromagnetic waves and the hyperspectral camera are connected to a data processing system which determines the egg images from the image of the hyperspectral camera and associates hyperspectral data and the position of the respective hatching egg on the carrier with the respective egg image.
