Zusammenfassung:A method for obtaining a reflectance property indication of a sample whic h includes making a reflectance measurement of the sample and correcting the reflectance measurement in order to obtain the reflectance property indicat ion. The reflectance measurement represents an observed reflectance of the s ample, the reflectance property indication represents a standardized reflect ance of the sample, and correcting the reflectance measurement accounts for a difference between the standardized reflectance and the observed reflectan ce. An apparatus for making a reflectance measurement of a sample which incl udes a housing defining a viewing port, a temperature control mechanism for controlling the temperature within the interior of the housing, and an optic al reflectometer contained within the interior of the housing. The reflectom eter has a measurement direction and is movable within the housing so that t he measurement direction can be selectively aligned with the viewing port.
