Abstract

An apparatus (1) for inspecting a rod shaped article (8) of the tobacco industry, including an optical output (11) configured to output a beam (12) of electromagnetic radiation, a first receiver (5) and a second receiver (6). The first receiver (5) is for receiving radiation which has been output by the optical output (11) and transmitted through the rod shaped article (8). Moreover, the optical output (11) and the first receiver (5) face each other. The second receiver (6) is for receiving radiation which has been output by the optical output (11) and redirected within the rod shaped article (8). Furthermore, the first and second receivers (5, 6) are configured to generate complementary signals (P, Q) to be analysed to provide information relating to the interior of the rod shaped article (8).
