If the emissivity <strong>of</strong> a gray body is very low, as in the case <strong>of</strong> polished metal<br />

surfaces, the reflectance becomes high (reflectance = 1 - emissivity) and can<br />

generate erroneous readings if not properly handled. Reflected energy from a<br />

specific source can generally be redirected by proper orientation <strong>of</strong> the<br />

instrument with respect to the target surface, as shown in Figure A-9. This<br />

illustrates the proper and improper orientation that is necessary to avoid<br />

reflected energy from a specific source.<br />
