Zusammenfassung:A method for investigating visual appearance of a sample surface using a handheld measuring device is disclosed. A combined image (140) of a measurement area on the sample surface is obtained using at least one integrated light source and at least one integrated camera of the handheld measuring device and is displayed on a display device. The combined image is a combination of a first image (110) and a second image (120) under directional illumination. The first image (110) is acquired with a first measurement geometry, in which the observation direction is oriented at a first aspecular angle having an absolute value of at least 30°, and the second image (120) is acquired with a second measurement geometry, in which the observation direction is oriented at a second aspecular angle having an absolute value of not more than 15°. In this manner, the combined image provides a realistic color impression while ensuring that defects are well visible.
