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.

45/0° probe head – like the eye see´s it
The 45°/0° measuring geometry is standardised in DIN standard 5033. The sample is illuminated at an angle of 45° with a direct light source and the reflected light is measured at 0°. The measurements of this measurement geometry come closest to the vis…
d/8° probe head – the sphere geometry
The standardized d/8° measuring geometry is described in the DIN 5033. The probe is illuminated with a diffuse light source and measured at an angle of 8°. The diffuse light is generated in a so called integrating sphere. The gloss of the surface is me…
