Integrating sphere spectral reflectance measurement kit

Integrating sphere spectral reflectance measurement kit, suitable for diffuse or
specular reflectance measurement of flat or curved materials

Description

Reflection, like transmission, is a basic optical property of objects and is also the
basic content of spectral measurement. For different types of samples, in order to
obtain accurate spectral measurement data, the two basic modes of reflection and
transmission will evolve into more forms. There are two main types of reflection on the
surface of an object: specular reflection and diffuse reflection. The reflection of
light on a perfectly flat surface is specular reflection. The reflection of light on a
rough surface is diffuse reflection. The reflection of light on the surface of most
objects is between the two. Reflection measurement can be used to measure the
reflectivity of components, the reflected color of objects, and the composition
information in chemical samples.
When measuring reflectivity, it is necessary to consider whether the reflection of the
sample is specular or diffuse. We observe that the color of objects is mostly based on
diffuse reflection, while those very dazzling or very bright sample surfaces are mostly
specular and diffuse reflections. When we measure the reflection of an object, it is
very important to determine which type of reflection the surface of the object is
mainly, and whether we want to receive all or part of the reflected light. In food
applications, most reflection measurements are based on diffuse reflection.
