Equipment for measuring optical properties Methods of measurement Two methods can determine CIE tristimulus values X, Y, Z and brightness R457: calculation from spectral reflectance factors or direct measurement with filtered photo detectors. Instruments using the first method are spectrophotometers, which is the most common type of measurement instrument today. They measure the spectral reflectance
