		<description><![CDATA[Electro Optical Industries (EOI) uses one of two high emissivity coatings on the surface of its blackbodies. The EOI mid-temperature coating is used on both cavity and flat plate blackbodies that have a maximum operating temperatures of up to 210 °C. Read the rest by visiting their webpage at: www.electro-optical.com/html/bb_rad/emissivity/emis_data.asp]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From the Electro-Optical Industries website: &#8220;Effective emissivity is the ratio of the total amount of energy exiting a blackbody to that which is predicted by Planck’s law. This is the value most frequently referred to as &#8220;emissivity&#8221;. Effective emissivity of a cavity type blackbody will normally be much higher than the surface emissivity due to [...]]]></description>

We use them to calibrate IR Thermometers, Radiation Pyrometers and Thermal Imagers. Technically they should have a spectral emissivity very close to 1.0. How close, you might ask?
