7. Useful information

Emissivity
Emissivity describes the energy-emitting characteristics of materials. Most
organic or oxidized surfaces have an emissivity of ±0.95 (default setting).
Measuring shiny or polished surfaces will be inaccurate. Use some masking
tape or paint to compensate, allow sufficient time for the tape or paint to
reach the surface temperature.
Refer to the table for an indication of some emissivity values.
