Fill the 35 mm diameter plastic dish with powder, granules or paste.

CMR-3011 is a  35 mm (1.5 in) diameter port for the ColorFlex that is designed to center a disposable polystyrene tissue culture dish (35 mm OD/30 mm ID x 10 mm high), to measure small quantities of powder, granules and pastes.

If the sample is effectively opaque, there should be no need to cover the sample dish at the port. If not, order 04-4000-00 Sample Cup Opaque Cover to serve as a consistent black surround.
