Do you guys think imperfections like that would effect the reading much?
I'm always afraid of burning my Ophir too.

Oh, it's fine you whiner :p. That will have approximately zero effect on your readings.

Prove it to yourself. Find a stable laser. Take a reading on the spot, then take a reading off the spot. Whichever you do second might read lower especially if it is a diode laser. If so, wait an hour and repeat the process in the reverse order.

If I turn out to be wrong, you can always just avoid that spot.

I would think the mark would have to really change the reflecting, or absorbing property of the surface. On something that's so sensitive, I can see reason for concern, but the marks really don't look bad at all.

That's it? I was expecting to see a pitted crater with smoke stains or something. That doesn't look bad at all. You should just continue using your meter without worrying.

Ok then, thank you very much guys for the help! :beer:
One more thing, do you think it's a good idea to sell it and buy the radiant x4 ? :thinking:
