Zusammenfassung:A particle detection system and method for glass articles is provided. The system includes a light source that emits a light beam, the light beam being formed into a light sheet and being directed to an area below the glass articles; and a camera to capture an image of an inspection area within the light sheet. The inspection area may be located below the glass articles. The system can include optics to shape the light beam into the light sheet. The light source can be a laser light source. Particles falling through the light sheet in the inspection area are illuminated and an image of them is captured by the camera in a time-resolved manner.
