When widely opening the measurement port baseplate
{ If you remove the stopper below the measurement
port baseplate, the measurement port baseplate can
be widely opened.
{ Remove the two stopper attaching screws by turning

4.
Repeat the procedure 2 and 3, and after deciding
the position of the specimen so that the part that
you want to measure is located at the measurement
point, close the measurement port baseplate.
{ When shifting the position of the specimen, in
order to protect the surface of the specimen, you
should pull the sample holder toward the front
and keep it open.
{ When closing the measurement port baseplate, be sure that the measurement port baseplate lock
is at the open position (slid in the direction of the arrow). If the lock is in the closed position, the
measurement port baseplate cannot be closed.
{ Do not open the measurement port baseplate and the transmittance specimen chamber cover while
performing measurement. Doing so may result in inaccurate measurement.

The sample holder for measuring the reflectance

To measure the reflectance of a film - or plate-like
specimen, the specimen needs to be secured with
the sample holder. If the specimen cannot be secured
in this way, remove the sample holder and hold the
specimen against the measurement aperture.
Removing Sample Holder
Procedure
1.
To remove the specimen holder when
taking reflectance measurements of large
spesimens, use a crosspoint screwdriver
to turn the four screws of the specimen
holder counterclockwise, remove the screws,
and then remove the specimen holder.
{ Keep the screws and sample holder in a safe
place.
