ABSTRACT:
An improved goniophotometer for determining the gloss and/or haze of a surface is disclosed. The device comprises a light source, one or more convex lenses for illuminating the surface, a field stop in the image plane of the light source, a light detector, and a rotatably mounted mirror located between the surface and the field stop. Whereas prior art goniophotometers translated the field stop through the reflected beam in order to measure the beam profile, such an arrangement required an additional positive lens placed after the field stop for uniform illumination of the (fixed) light detector in order to avoid errors in measurement resulting from locally varying sensitivity of the detector. By using a rotationally scanned mirror before the field stop, the need for means to translate the field stop as well as the need for the additional positive lens is made unnecessary.
