ABSTRACT:
A reflection characteristic measuring apparatus is provided with a hollow integrating sphere. The integrating sphere is formed with four apertures: a sample aperture where a sample to be measured is placed; a first illumination aperture for allowing light to enter the sphere from a first illuminator; a second illumination aperture for allowing light to enter the sphere from a second illuminator; and a measurement aperture for allowing light to exit from the sphere. A photoreceptor receives light reflected from the sample that exits the measurement aperture. A reflection characteristic calculator is used to for calculating first and second reflection characteristics of the sample based on the light received by the photoreceptor. A corrector is used to correct the calculated first and second reflection characteristics.
