Coating Optical Tests: Separate Transmission from Image Sharpness
The amount of transmitted light and the sharpness of an image viewed through a material are different properties.
Updated · NANOLAB Knowledge
Practical approach
Define which optical outcome matters and request the corresponding measurement method.
A sample may transmit substantial light while still reducing the clarity of a viewed object.
Decision limits
Do not describe high transmission alone as proof that a treated lens, screen or glazing assembly is optically suitable.

The mix in a foam-cannon bottle is not automatically the concentration reaching the vehicle. A practical output test should preserve that distinction.
Reflection Haze and Transmission Haze: Choose the Right Optical Question
Reflection haze concerns the reflected image; transmission haze concerns light passing through a material. They address different appearance questions.
