How to measure
After switching on SpectroPlate, it is instantly ready to measure. No calibration is to
be carried out. Just position the measurement aperture above the area to be measu-
red and press the green button. The measurement value can be seen on the LCD
display within a second.
Please make sure to perform measurements on flat surfaces only. The measurement
aperture has to be directly on the sample without any distance in order to ensure the
correct field of depth of the optical system.
