Classification of egg candler
Egg candlers can be classified based on different criteria. Here are some common ways of categorizing egg candlers:
1. By type of light source:
- Incandescent egg candlers use a bulb to produce light.
- LED egg candlers use light-emitting diodes to produce light.
- Halogen egg candlers use a halogen bulb to produce high-intensity light.
2. By design:
- Handheld egg candlers are small and portable, and are held directly over the egg to inspect it.
- Stationary egg candlers are larger and often have a tray or platform for holding multiple eggs at once.
- Camera egg candlers use a camera to capture images of the egg's interior, which can be viewed on a screen or computer.
3. By level of automation:
- Manual egg candlers require the operator to turn the eggs and move them to inspect different areas.
- Automatic egg candlers use mechanical systems to rotate the eggs and illuminate them from different angles.
4. By purpose:
- Incubation egg candlers are used to monitor the development of embryos during incubation.
- Quality control egg candlers are used to inspect eggs for freshness, defects, and other quality attributes.
- Research egg candlers are used in scientific studies to examine egg contents, structure, and other properties.
