The cabled probe can be positioned independently of the touchscreen unit, helping you place the measurement opening against fittings, molded parts, cable surfaces and other samples with limited accessible color area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cfigure\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/2133\/5851\/files\/small-aperture-spectrophotometer-ls178-one-mm-aperture.jpg?v=1793766613\" alt=\"LS178 probe underside showing the 1mm measurement aperture\" width=\"990\" height=\"734\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003cfigcaption\u003eLS178 probe underside showing the 1mm measurement aperture\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePositioning small samples\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlace the probe against the sample or turn its opening upward to present a small item from above. The sample must cover the aperture and remain steady during the approximately one-second reading. Consistent contact and orientation help comparisons between similar parts, especially when the surface is curved or textured.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eD\/8 SCI geometry includes specular reflection in the measurement. A full-spectrum LED, D65 illuminant and 10-degree observer form the optical reference.
