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
Different types of substrates require different kinds of digital gauges. Magnetic gauges are for ferrous metals, eddy current gauges are for non-ferrous metals and ultrasonic gauges are for any non-metal composites like plastics. Careful selection of a gauge is the most important factor for obtaining accurate measurements.
A haze meter should be calibrated every 6 months, or more frequently if used for certain quality control processes.
Depending on model and location, delivery time is usually 2-4 weeks for standard models and 4-6 weeks for built- to-order ones.
A colorimeter is sufficient for basic, routine color checks, while a spectrophotometer is needed for precise, comprehensive color analysis—here’s the clear breakdown:
Simple color matching needs: Ideal for checking if a sample matches a predefined standard (e.g., basic paint batches, plastic parts with solid colors).
Consistent lighting conditions: Works well when measurements are done under fixed, standard light sources (no need to account for varied light effects).
Cost-sensitive, high-volume tasks: Perfect for production lines requiring fast, low-cost color checks without advanced data analysis.
Precise color quantification: Necessary for measuring Lab values (lightness, red-green, yellow-blue axes) or detecting subtle color deviations (critical for automotive coatings, high-end textiles).
Complex color analysis: Required for metallic/pearlescent finishes, transparent materials, or samples with gloss/texture variations.
Compliance and documentation: Essential when precise color data (spectral curves) is needed for quality audits, regulatory compliance, or brand color standardization.
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.
To ensure a consistent color perception, observers should look at samples at a 45° light angle and 0° viewing angle to reduce glare.
