Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022218666A1] The invention relates to a method for inspecting containers (10), in which containers (10) provided with container closures (10a) are transported by means of a transport device (2) along a predetermined transport path (T) and inspected by means of a first inspection device (4) during this transport, and the inspection device (4) captures at least one first image of at least the container closure of a container (10) by means of an image capture device (42), characterised in that a second image of at least this container closure (10) is captured by means of an image capture device, a time interval between the capture of the first image and of the second image preferably being less than 10 ms.
