The paper presents an instrument for measuring the direct transmission factor of luminous flux in inhomogeneous media. In the first part the basic concepts are introduced and the problem of transmission measurements for the specific case of inhomogeneous solids is defined. The following part examines the typical situation of solid polymers and discusses the main requirements for transmission measurements. The criteria for choosing the apertures and the errors likely to occur are also studied in this section. The instrument is described in § 3. The following section presents the performance of the instrument working as a low-angle light-scattering photo-goniometer and indicates its resolution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
