Recently the public has become aware of the potential of light field photography through the introduction of the Lytro camera. Light field recording allows an enormous degree of post-processing, ...

Reflectance Medical, its device uses light -- specifically, near infrared spectroscopy -- to read patients’ blood chemistry without cutting into them, will help save the lives of soldiers wounded in ...

One of the most popular techniques for material identification is single bounce ATR spectroscopy. However, in some cases, the specular reflectance sampling technique may still be necessary. Much like ...

An image printed on reflectance paper responds to the direction from which it is illuminated. The reflectance paper is covered with dimples that reflect light from different directions. See video ...

The Earth's albedo, or reflectance, is a fundamental atmospheric parameter having deep implications for temperature and climate change. For that reason, experiments have been performed to monitor it ...

A new American Society for Testing & Materials standard test method for measurement of the reflectance of vitrinite dispersed in sedimentary rocks has been developed by an international committee of ...

Surface reflectance is a measure of how much of the incident light is reflected by a given surface. For optical applications driven by the absorption of light, minimizing surface reflectance is ...
