Early detection of declining forest health is critical for the timely intervention and treatment of droughted and diseased ...

The Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) provides a quantitative means of characterising how light is reflected from a surface. It is defined as the ratio of radiance scattered by ...

One of the most popular techniques for material identification is single bounce ATR spectroscopy. However, in some cases, the specular reflectance sampling technique may still be necessary. Much like ...

High-throughput, noninvasive field phenotyping has revealed genetic variation in crop morphological, developmental, and agronomic traits, but rapid measurements of the underlying physiological and ...

Measures total hemispherical reflectance, 3 to >35 micrometers, and performs integrated total hemispheric reflectance measurement, 250 nm to 2500 nm. The TESA 2000, by virtue of an advanced optical ...

• Leaf optical properties impact leaf energy balance and thus leaf temperature. The effect of leaf development on mid-infrared (MIR) reflectance, and hence thermal emissivity, has not been ...

Over the last twenty years, ultrafast laser-based time-domain thermoreflectance (TDTR) has developed as a dependable, efficient, and adaptable approach for measuring the thermal characteristics of a ...
