ever, of requiring a skilled operator. Furthermore the calibrations, carried out in accord with table 4b, are time-consuming; and the instrument is not applicable to some highly selective samples because nearly homogeneous energy is too little changed in spectral composition by passage through the wedges. This colorimeter has been used in setting up a color standard for ruby mica [70]; for inspection of working standards, transparent and opaque, for conformity to a master standard; and for general colorimetry by difference, for both fluorescent and nonfluorescent specimens [137].
