ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for detecting discontinuities in a radiation diffusing surface (10) such as paper. Radiation is passed to the surface and a radiation collector (19) receives the diffused radiation (18) from a limited area of the surface (10). The radiation collector receives the diffuse radiation from a limited area only and from within predetermined angular limits other than normal to the surface. The radiation collector (19) defines said predetermined angular limits through total internal reflection.
