ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to imaging apparatus and method for detecting optical properties of transparent media. The present invention superimposes, either optically or electronically, at least two images of the transparent media in order to obtain the optical properties. By superimposing the images, the present invention is capable of detecting various optical properties of the transparent medium in a single configuration.
