Tech/Engineering - Physics | | English term or phrase: reflectance capability in the ... nm region | Apparatus:
A NIR instrument with reflectance capability in the 1200-2400 nm region, calibrated against the primary DCM extraction method. |
| | | Spanish translation:reflectancia entre 1200 y 2400 nm | Explanation:
reflectancia entre 1200 y 2400 nm
Hi. "Reflectance capability" is a common mistake; it's either "reflectance" (which is the reflection coefficient/factor) or "reflective capability".
Reflectance = reflectancia, and
reflection factor/coefficient = factor de reflexión / coeficiente de reflexión
They're identical, pick one.
"in the X-Y nm region" means that this factor is within the range X-Y nanometers.
My translation for your sentence would be:
"Reflectancia entre 1200 y 2400 nm"
