A new method predicts leaf optical properties from traits, improving canopy light modeling and photosynthesis estimates in ...

An image printed on reflectance paper responds to the direction from which it is illuminated. The reflectance paper is covered with dimples that reflect light from different directions. See video ...

Recently the public has become aware of the potential of light field photography through the introduction of the Lytro camera. Light field recording allows an enormous degree of post-processing, ...

Researchers have determined that light reflectance spectroscopy can differentiate between malignant and benign prostate tissue with 85 percent accuracy, a finding that may lead to real-time tissue ...

Hairs were removed from upper surfaces of leaves of Gynura aurantiaca (velvet plant) with an electric razor. Pubescence on young leaves significantly increased total and diffuse reflectance in the 750 ...

The high near-infrared reflectance (0.76 to 0.90 μm) of Big Bend loco and Wooton loco contributed significantly to their orange-red and red image tonal responses, respectively, on color-infrared ...

The ``world's whitest paint'' with a light reflectance of 98.1%, developed by the research team of Professor Shulin Luang of Purdue University's Department of Mechanical Engineering, has almost the ...

LUSHADE® BLACK is an ultra-low reflectance structural black pigment that absorbs more than 99.0% of visible light. This exceptional optical property helps suppress stray light and enhances the ...
