Abstract: We give a characterization of commutative semispectral measures by means of Feller and Strong Feller Markov kernels. In particular: {itemize} we show that a semispectral measure $F$ is commutative if and only if there exist a self-adjoint operator $A$ and a Markov kernel $m{u}_{(cdot)}(cdot):GammaimesmathcalB(mathbbR)o[0,1]$, $Gammasubsetsigma(A)$, $E(Gamma)=mathbf1$, such that ${\displaystyle }$F(Delta)=int_{Gamma}mu_{Delta}(lambda),dE_{lambda},${\displaystyle }$ oindent and $m{u}_{(Delta)}$ is continuous for each $DeltainR$ where, $RsubsetmathcalB(mathbbR)$ is a ring which generates the Borel $sigma$-algebra of the reals $mathcalB(mathbbR)$. Moreover, $m{u}_{(cdot)}(cdot)$ is a Feller Markov kernel and separates the points of $Gamma$. we prove that $F$ admits a strong Feller Markov kernel $m{u}_{(cdot)}(cdot)$, if and only if $F$ is uniformly continuous. Finally, we prove that if $F$ is absolutely continuous with respect to a regular finite measure $u$ then, it admits a strong Feller Markov kernel. {itemize} The mathematical and physical relevance of the results is discussed giving a particular emphasis to the connections between $mu$ and the imprecision of the measurement apparatus.
