Abstract
Embodiments include a spectral reflectance system comprising a light source. The system includes a platform configured to retain a sample. The system includes an optical director positioned in the optical path between the light source and the platform. The optical director couples light from the light source to the platform. The system includes a detector positioned to receive reflected light from the sample. The detector generates a signal representing the reflected light. The system includes a focusing system coupled to the optical director. In response to the signal the focusing system automatically focuses the light on the sample by controlling a position of the optical director to maximize a strength of the signal.
