3nh Multi-angle spectrophotometer is used to measure the color difference for the surface paint which is affected by different viewing angles and viewing conditions. Lightweight, Durable, Accurate—Your On-the-Go Color Expert
The Ultimate Tool for True Color Analysis
The 3nh Multiangle Spectrophotometer features up to 12 measurement angles, with a maximum repeatability of ΔEab < 0.04 and color repeatability of ΔEab < 0.02. It is primarily designed for measuring the sparkle, flop, and granularity effects on object surfaces,It can provide accurate and consistent color measurement for metalllics, pearlescents and other complex special effect finished products.
It can not only measure multi-angle color difference, but also measure and characterize special finishes through multiple measuring angles. Even in the curved surface, it also has high measuring accuracy and stability.
From Car Paint to Cosmetic Pearls: Master Every Shade with Multi-Angle Spectrophotometry
The Future of Special-Effect Color Measurement: Multi-Angle Spectrophotometers Lead the Way
A powerful and portable instrument for color measurement, management, transmission, and report printing.


Adopt 7 illumination sources, 2 receivers to measure 12 measurement angles at the same time

Touch screen can display all Angle measurement results, more intuitive view of the comprehensive data.
High - end Hardware Configuration: Dual - array image sensors; Bluetooth transmission; Concave grating for light dispersion.
Stable Measurement: 400 - 700nm blue - enhanced LED, with the standard deviation controlled within 0.08%.
Color Transfer: Measures the sample's reflection spectrum, providing accurate Lab data, applicable for color matching and color transfer.
Measurement Accuracy: Temperature monitoring and compensation. With a built - in temperature sensor, it monitors and compensates for the test environment to ensure accurate measurement results.
User-Centric Design: Its compact, lightweight design (1.2kg) also makes it ideal for both lab-based testing and on-site inspections (e.g., factory production lines, supplier audits).
Traditional colorimeters often miss subtle color shifts visible at different viewing angles, leading to inconsistent products, costly reworks, and disappointed customers. Our Multi-Angle Spectrophotometer solves this challenge by capturing color data from multiple angles, ensuring your products look perfect, no matter how they’re viewed.

FAQs About Multi-angle spectrophotometer
Since part of the light will pass through the light-transmitting materials, the colorimeter is not suitable for color measurement of such kinds of materials; however, when place a pure color material with uniform texture under the light-transmitting material, we can measure the color difference between the standard and the sample.
You can choose a colorimters depending on the substrate you are measuring the color of, whether it is opaque, translucent or transparent. In short, you can consider the following factors for choosing the right 3NH colorimeter for your needs: Sample Opacity, Physical Form, Optical Properties needed, Measurement Methods required, Scales and Indices needed, Instrument Standards Conformance (ASTM/ISO/Other), Instrument Geometry, Instrument Performance, Location (laboratory, portability, in-process) and Sample Handling requirements.
By systematically addressing these factors, you can select a colorimeter that optimizes accuracy, efficiency, and value for your specific application.Learn more from our ultimate guide on colorimeter selection. If unsure, consult the 3NH manufacturer for personalized recommendations based on your sample and workflow.
This refers to assessing samples with a specific color and maintaining the same alloted time interval on all parameters to ensure neutrality of variables and reproducibility of lightness in the color.
Calibrating a colorimeter before testing is critical for accurate, reliable color data—counteracting instrument drift, environmental interference, and component wear to ensure measurements reflect true sample colors. It guarantees compliance with industry standards, eliminates costly rework from flawed data, maintains brand consistency across batches/locations, and ensures data comparability with clients or regulators.
Calibrating a colorimeter before use is primarily to ensure the accuracy of measurement data and compensate for errors caused by the aging of internal components (such as light sources and phototubes) or environmental changes.
Below are the specific reasons:
Compensation for Component Aging and Environmental Influences
Compensation for Environmental Factors
Standardization of Measurement Baselines
Operational Specification Requirements
3nh colorimeters are designed for immediate measurement upon startup. However, calibration (via black-white correction) is mandatory for the first use, sudden environmental changes, or abnormal data to restore measurement accuracy.
Now our testing machines have been sold to more than 80 countries, like USA, Canada, Russia,UK, Italy, Germany, European , India, Pakistan, Philippine, Singapore, Malaysia,Thailand , Vietnam, Korea,Saudi Arabia,Brazil...and so on. We sell to the global market.
An inappropriate viewing angle may lead to reflections or color shifts in the light. The correct angle of 45 or 0 will provide the real color of the assessment without the distraction of glare.
