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
There are many factors that can influence accuracy such as surface roughness, temperature, substrate material, and calibration settings. For ferrous metals, external magnetic fields can also distort measurements. Proper calibration and preparation will help reduce the impact of these factors.
Gloss is a broad term to describe the reflectivity of a surface. Whereas high gloss is a specific term that has the highest reflectance (usually more than 70 GU). High gloss finishes are shiny, mirror-like, and exhibit more surface blemishes than lower gloss finishes.
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.
