410-Solar – NIR Portable Reflectometer – SOC410-Solar Surface Optics Corporation

Product Description

The 410-Solar measures the diffuse portion of the total reflectance at 20° using the fully automated specular diffuse port plug. The port plug is lifted away from the sphere allowing the 20° specular beam to escape, leaving the diffuse portion of the total reflectance left to measure. The specular beam portion is obtained by subtracting the diffuse reflectance from the total reflectance. For maximum accuracy it is calibrated with a specular calibration coupon and with a diffuse calibration coupon. The data is recorded and can be displayed in a graphical or numerical form.
