  • Abstract
    A few problems are discussed in transmittance measurements at an oblique angle of incidence. Incident angle dependence on transmittance of a 10 mm thick sample of silicon dioxide was measured by four kinds of experimental setups. Each measured transmittance was compared with theoretical one. The most reliable means of solving is that beams are directed to a detector by automatic adjusting of an angle of a mirror between the sample and the detector. This idea has been realized in a STAR GEM device.
