Twenty light‐skinned adults were measured at the upper inner arm site using two commonly used reflectance spectrophotometers. Each subject was measured by each of three investigators to assess the influence of interobserver error on the reflectance readings. A repeated measures design analysis of variance showed no significant variance component due to observers.
