The grading apparatus IS-D-15 is a device using a sharp needle probe which is inserted into a given place of the carcass; the insertion depth is about 140 mm. A special engineered optical set is located behind the needle that by the means of an optical channel enlightens the surrounding tissue or area and scans the amount of reflected light energy with the defined wavelength. The terminal is also equipped with a precise contactless measuring device which determines the current insertion depth with 46 micrometer precision.
