Abstract: A method for inspecting filled containers for foreign bodies, comprising: providing a planar illuminating device designed to emit radiation which radiates through a container to be examined; providing a detection device designed to detect the radiation which was emitted by the illuminating device and has radiated through the container and to create a photograph of the container on the basis of the detected radiation; providing an evaluation device designed to evaluate the image created by the detection device; wherein the detection device is aimed, at an acute angle ? relative to the horizontal, at the bottom region of the container to be inspected, and wherein a foreign body on the container bottom is recognized as a local disturbance in the imaging photograph.

Abstract: A device and a method for inspecting containers for impurities and three-dimensional container structures comprising a radiation source. The radiation source is designed to emit radiation that radiates through a container to be examined. The device also comprises a detection element designed to detect the radiation that has been emitted by the radiation source and has radiated through the container. The device further comprises an evaluation element designed to evaluate the radiation detected by the detection element in terms of dirt and damage to the container. The radiation source has a plurality of spatially separated radiation zones. The radiation zones of the radiation source are designed to emit radiation of different wavelength ranges or of a different intensity.
