Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0047981A1] A method for identifying natural fibres, in particular wool and cashmere fibres, involves magnifying the fibres, arranged on a support, by means of a microscope and sending the magnified images to a data processor which determines, for each fibre, various characteristic parameters, including the scale height. These parameters are compared with a reference database formed using known fibres. When determining the scale height of each fibre, the scale heights (B, C, D) which do not lie within a predefined tolerance range relating to the form of the step are not used.
