A formal division of ensembles into pure ensembles is interpreted in physical terms. If the division of an ensemble can be generated by measurement of all properties, then the ensemble is called reconstructable. It is investigated in which cases an ensemble is reconstructable. Furthermore the hypothesis of random phases is discussed.
