■ Measurement Principles This device is designed to measure the whiteness of rice based on our own uniquely developed standard. The C-600 measures reflectivity and utilizes two blue LEDs as its light source. The light from the blue LEDs shine onto the sample surface at a 45 degree angle. Next, the amount of reflected light reflected is measured with a photo diode.
