    Abstract: Reflected light detecting device and method with surface reflected light components collectively be extracted/removed when detecting reflected light arising in casting light onto target-object range having non-planar surface. The device includes: a first illuminating device causing first-measurement light in predetermined polarization direction to enter target-object first region from first direction; polarization optical system position part of first-surface reflected light enters the polarization optical system, the first-surface reflected light being the first-measurement in the first region surface; a second illuminating device causing second-measurement light in the same first-measurement light polarization direction to enter second region from second direction, the second region being on the target-object surface, different from the first region; adjusting direction of the second-measurement light optical axis so part of second-surface reflected light enters the polarization optical system, the second-surface reflected light being the second-measurement in second region surface; and detecting light having passed through the polarization optical system.

    Abstract: Colorimeter includes an illumination light reception unit, an attached part, a detection unit, a recognition unit, a color measurement control unit, and an output unit. To the attached part, a mask member is attached to cover the illumination light reception unit. The detection unit detects parts disposed on the mask member. The recognition unit recognizes information on the kind of the mask member in accordance with a detection result by the detection unit. The color measurement control unit causes the recognition unit to recognize information on the kind of mask member in accordance with the detection result at a first timing, and on the kind of mask member in accordance with the detection result at a second timing. The output unit performs a predetermined output in response to a discordance between the information on the kind of mask member at the first timing and at the second timing.
