摘要

"Apparatus for the determination of viability of eggs using measurement by infrared radiation and method for determination of viability of eggs using measurement by infrared radiation.The present invention is comprises an apparatus (10) to determine the feasibility of an egg, this apparatus (10) including means of protection (12, 14)The middle of the issue (30) and detection means (32), the arrangement being such that, in use, the means of protection (12, 14) inhibits the exposure of an egg to infrared radiation background.Said means of issuance (30) can emit electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength of infrared radiation in order to focus on the egg.And the means of detection (32) is positioned to detect at least part of said electromagnetic radiation that has passed through the egg.The device also including means for processing an output signal of the means of detection, to determine whether there is a cyclical variation in the intensity of infrared radiation leaving the egg correspondingThe action of a heart, the existence of such cyclical variation, indicating that the egg is feasible.
