3、specified illuminating and viewing conditions, and then use this data to compute tristimulusvalues based on an International Commission on Illumination (CIE) standard observer and a CIEstandard illuminant. For a fluorescent object-color specimen, the spectral radiance factors used tocalculate tristi
4、mulus values are made up of two components an ordinary reflectance factor and afluorescence factor (b = bS+ bF). The magnitude of the fluorescent radiance factors, and consequentlythe measured total radiance factors and derived color values, vary directly with the spectraldistribution of the instrum
5、ent source illuminating the specimen. Consequently, the colorimetry offluorescent object-color specimens requires greater control of the measurement parameters in order toobtain precise spectrometric and colorimetric data. In order to obtain repeatable and reproducible colorvalues for fluorescent ob
6、jects it is necessary that the illumination at the specimen surface closelyduplicate the standard illuminant used in the color calculations. The considerations involved and theprocedures used to obtain spectrometric data and compute colorimetric values for fluorescentspecimens using a one-monochroma

Significance and Use5.1 The most general method for obtaining CIE tristimulusvalues or, through their transformation, other coordinates fordescribing the colors of fluorescent objects is by the use ofspectrometric data obtained under de

The fundamental basis for thisrequirement follows from the defining property of a fluorescentspecimen: instantaneous light emission resulting from elec-tronic excitation by absorption of radiant energy
41、(h) where thewavelengths of emission (l) are as a rule longer than theexcitation wavelengths (1).6For a fluorescent specimen, thetotal spectral radiance factors used to calculate tristimulusvalues are the sum of two components an ordinary reflectancefactor, b(l)S, and a fluorescence factor, b(h,l)F:
42、 b(l)=b(l)S+ b(h,l)F. Ordinary spectral reflectance factors aresolely a function of the specimens reflected radiance efficiencyat the viewing wavelength (l) and independent of the spectraldistribution of the illumination. The values of the spectralfluorescent radiance factors at the viewing waveleng

44、or measurement ofordinary (non-fluorescent) specimens and the precision withwhich they can measure the color of fluorescent specimens isdirectly dependent on how well the instrument illuminationsimulates CIE D65.5.3 CIE D65 is a virtual illuminant that numerically definesa standardized spectral illu
45、mination distribution for daylightand not a physical light source (2). There is no CIE recom-mendation for a standard source corresponding to CIE D65 noris there a standardized method for rating the quality (oradequacy) of an instruments simulation of CIE D65 for thegeneral instrumental colorimetry
46、of fluorescent specimens. Therequirement that the instrument simulation of CIE D65 shallhave a rating not worse than BB (CIELAB) as determined bythe method of CIE Publication 51 has often been referenced.However, the method of CIE 51 is only suitable for ultraviolet-excited specimens evaluated for t
47、he CIE 1964 (10) observer.The methods described in CIE 51 were developed for UVactivated fluorescent whites and have not been proven to beapplicable to visible-activated fluorescent specimens.NOTE 1Aging of the instrument lamp will occur with normal usageresulting in changes in the spectral distribu

Measurement of the spectraldistribution of the illumination at the sample port and evaluation of theadequacy of the CIE D65 simulation at regular intervals are recom-mended.5.4 Differences in the absolute spectral irradiance distribu-t

In order toadequately reproduce the spectral irradiance on the specimenrequired for maximum measurement reproducibility, it may benecessary for a single model of instrument to be specified foruse by both buyer and seller.5.5 This practice is primarily for the instrumental colormeasurement of chromatic fluorescent specimens.
