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.

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.

Yes, we offer free samples for test, you are welcome to order samples to experience our excellent quality and service.
Accurate readings can be obtained by keeping the sample clean, regular calibration, control of ambient light and appropriate measurement settings.
A Spectrophotometer color measuring device objectively determines the color of a surface. It is used wherever accurate color matching, reproducibility or deviation control is needed – for example in quality assurance, product development or incoming goods inspection.
Capture color information: They detect light reflected, transmitted, or emitted by a sample using optical sensors.
Quantify color data: They convert the captured optical signals into standardized numerical values, such as RGB, CMYK, or CIELAB coordinates.
Compare color consistency: They compare the measured color data of a sample against a target or standard to assess color accuracy and uniformity.
The machine used to measure color is primarily called a colorimeter or spectrophotometer.
Spectrophotometer: The most common and precise type. It analyzes light reflected/transmitted by an object across the visible spectrum to quantify color accurately. A spectrophotometer can measure colors on smooth or matte surfaces, as well as textured, glossy, mirror-like surfaces, and special effect colors. It measures the reflected light of a sample at a fixed angle (e.g., 45˚) or captures light reflected at all angles to calculate color measurements that closely match what the human eye perceives. Additionally, similar to how humans flip a sample to view colors from different angles, a spectrophotometer is suitable for measuring a variety of materials and surface characteristics. Widely used in industries like paint, textiles, plastics, Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals, and printing.
Colorimeter: Also called photoelectric integrating colorimeter, a simpler, more cost-effective option. It measures color based on three primary colors (RGB) and is suitable for basic color matching needs. A photoelectric integrating colorimeter is a color measurement device based on the photoelectric integration principle. It directly measures the tristimulus values XYZ of an object's color using three color filters (red, green, blue) and silicon photocells as three sensors. The color measurement principle of this instrument imitates the human eye's mechanism of perceiving the three primary colors (red, green, blue). It corrects the relative spectral sensitivity of the detector through color filters to match the CIE-recommended spectral tristimulus value functions x(λ), y(λ), and z(λ).
Spectrocolorimeter: Combines the functions of spectrophotometers and colorimeters, offering both spectral data and color space values for comprehensive analysis.
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.
