I don't know. Normally an instrument will have calibration values for the standard for both specular included and excluded. A more normal procedure is to set up the instrument in the desired configuration and then calibrate with the tile.
It might be possible that your instrument can be calibrated in one geometry and used for measurements in the other, but I would encourage you to use the same setup for both the calibration and measurements if that is possible. More.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
