Dutch term or phrase: opvallend licht
This appears in a description of a precision measurement instrument:

De witlichtsensoren kunnen zowel afstand meten als laagdikte voor transparante materialen. De camera’s kunnen worden gecombineerd met verschillende lenstypen en verschillende verlichtingsbronnen. Hiermee kunnen verschillende beelden (doorlicht, opvallend licht) worden gemaakt en zo verschillende soorten metingen worden uitgevoerd.

incident:

2. (Especially of light or other radiation) falling on or striking something

usage examples:

– when an ion beam is incident on a surface
– There is a resonant interaction of the incident light with the surface plasmons on both surfaces of the metal film.
– The intensity of all monochromatic incident light was kept close using neutral density filters.
– Further, nitrogen-based defensive compounds tend to increase under both high nutrient availability and reduced incident radiation.
– This orientation minimizes the polymer's exposure to incident light and hence lowers observed fluorescence.

Thanks very much, Michael!
Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks for your thorough response, Michael! I'd choose "incident light" over "reflected light", as my investigations indicated that they are two different things. A couple of examples: http://www.sekonic.com/l-478/incident-vs-reflected.html Incident light measures the light falling on your subject. ... Reflected light measures the light reflecting off your subject. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belichtingsmeter Met een losse lichtmeter zijn er vrijwel altijd twee mogelijkheden om het licht te meten: gereflecteerd licht maar ook opvallend-licht.

agree  Kitty Brussaard: Indeed, the evidence is overwhelming :-)
2 hrs
  -> thanks! :-)

agree  Lianne van de Ven: I think I would prefer reflected light. Had to look up incident light - which is not a bad thing in itself: https://www.scienceabc.com/pure-sciences/how-can-transparent...

  -> Yeah, I'd say they should both go in the glossary.

agree  philgoddard: TMI :-)
