egg inspection device or egg candling device Explanation: In the olden days, eggs used to be inspected by holding them up to candle light. The process was called candling and although candle light is no longer used, the name has stuck.

(egg) candler Explanation: Candling: egg-grading process in which the egg is inspected before a penetrating light in a darkened room for signs of fertility, defects, or freshness. First used to check embryo development in eggs being incubated, candling is used in modern commercial egg production primarily to rate quality. Reference: http://www.enasco.com/product/C19054N |
