The illumination is typically circular around the sample at 45\u00b0, referred to as &#8220;omnidirectional illumination.&#8221; In a 0\u00b0\/45\u00b0 geometry device, the sample is illuminated at a 0\u00b0 angle, and the reflected light is collected at 45\u00b0. Usually, multiple receivers are arranged in a circular pattern, known as &#8220;omni-observation.&#8221; Both geometries are referred to as reciprocal because the results, according to optical laws, are identical.        Devices with 45\u00b0\/0\u00b0 or 0\u00b0\/45\u00b0 geometry always measure under gloss exclusion. They measure the visual impression of the sample and best reflect the color perception of the human eye.

In a device with a diffuse\/8\u00b0 geometry, the sample is illuminated diffusely, meaning light is scattered from all directions. The observer receives the reflected light from a position that is 8\u00b0 to the normal (perpendicular) to the sample surface. The diffuse\/8\u00b0 geometry is also known as &#8220;sphere geometry&#8221; because a sphere with a white interior coating is used for light projection. Multiple reflections inside the sphere lead to color mixing. The 8\u00b0 deviation of the observer from the sample surface allows for reflection measurement with or without gloss inclusion in some HunterLab devices. In the gloss-inclusion measurement mode (RSIN), the total reflection, meaning both diffuse and specular reflection (direct reflection of the light beam, mirror-like reflection, or gloss), is measured. In the gloss-exclusion mode, only the diffuse reflection is measured. The gloss component is eliminated by opening part of the sphere from which light is normally directly reflected from the sample to the receiver.<\/strong>     <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bei einem Farbmessger\u00e4t bezieht sich Geometrie auf die Art und Weise, wie Licht auf die Oberfl\u00e4che eines Objekts trifft und reflektiert wird, sowie auf den Winkel, unter dem die Farbmessung erfolgt.
