Abstract:
A colorimeter includes an integrating sphere, a light source, a light receiver and a low reflectance unit. The integrating sphere has a first aperture to be covered with a sample and a second aperture opposing the first aperture configured to allow reflected light from the sample to pass therethrough. The light source irradiates an inner wall of the integrating sphere with light. The light receiver receives, through the second aperture, the reflected light from a surface of the sample that enters the integrating sphere through the first aperture when the light from the light source is reflected by the inner wall, and is applied to the sample through the first aperture, and outputs a signal in accordance with the reflected light. The low reflectance unit is disposed around the light receiver to face an internal space of the integrating sphere, and has lower light reflectance than the inner wall.

Claim (Index 7):
The colorimetric device according to  claim 1 , wherein\n said low reflectance unit is located to cross a straight line having a line symmetric relationship, with respect to a normal to said surface of said sample at an outside edge portion of said two-dimensional area, with an optical path, of said reflected light, crossing an optical axis of said optical system and passing through said optical system from said outside edge portion to an end portion of an effective area of said detecting unit.
