ColorLite sph870/900 for the measurement of inhomogeneous samples
Portable Spectrophotometer
ColorLite sph870/ sph900
With accessories for inhomogeneous samples like
- Granules
- Powder
- Food
- Wood Surfaces
- Building material
To measure granules or other inhomogeneous samples it is necessary to scan over a relative large area. ColorLite offers customers the adapters MA38 – 38 mm measuring area and MA80 to expand the measuring area to 80 mm in diameter. This means the accessory makes is possible to measure solids such as moulded plastics, as well as for measuring granules with only one spectrophotometer.
Description
The ColorLite sph900 has a trend-setting O-LED colour display and an intelligent interface that automatically detects connected accessories. This makes the measuring system very flexible and suitable for a large number of measuring applications. By using the integrating sphere adapter MA35 it is possible to measure both standard measuring geometries – 45°/0° and d/8° – with only one spectrophotometer. The sph900 spectrophotometer was developed by using only high quality components and complies with all current ASTM and DIN standards.
