FAQs About TS8296 Benchtop Spectrophotometers

Gloss is the general reflectivity of a surface, which encompasses a variety of degrees. One particular type of finish is high gloss, which has the maximum shine and reflectance. It increases the richness but emphasizes flaws as compared to satin or matte.


A colorimeter sends light through a solution and measures the amount that is absorbed. It computes the absorbance by comparing the intensity of light before and after passing through. The greater the concentration of the color, the greater is the absorption of the light. It is also possible to quantify the color of the solution.


Yes. However, for LED retrofitting to meet industry standards, color- calibrated LED modules must be used for accurate color rendering. We usually do not recommend customers to modify it themselves, as this can affect the accuracy of the color and cause unnecessary losses


The most important equation is A = 2εcl, where A is the absorbance, 2 is a constant, ε is the molar absorptivity (L/mol cm), c is the concentration (molL-11), and l is the path length (cm). This can be used to relate the absorbance to the concentration, allowing quantification through colorimetric assays.


Standard models are available in a range of sizes, starting from small desktop units which are roughly the size of 60 x 40 x 40 cm, and extending to larger units which are about 120 x 60 x 80 cm based on what you need them for.


To determine haze, haze meters are used in multiple industries such as plastic, glass, film, coating, and displays. This ensures that all optical quality of the product is in the appropriate specification, including aesthetic compliance and meeting the intercontinental quality standards.
