1. A test device including:
(a) a source of radiation for irradiating products, the source of radiation being operable for producing an irradiation beam directed along a beam path from the source of radiation to a recording unit;
(b) a housing with at least one closeable opening, wherein the beam path is within the housing and wherein the products are fed into the housing along two tracks extending along a conveyor route, each track being associated with a respective first means of propulsion in the housing, each respective first means of propulsion being operable to convey a respective one of the products within the housing along the respective track with which that respective first means of propulsion is associated; and
(c) each track having associated therewith a respective first sensor, each first sensor being operable to detect when a product moved on the respective track with which that first sensor is associated has arrived at a target position in the housing along the conveyor route.
