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.

The various colors can be measured by the way a surface reflects, absorbs, or transmits light at different wavelengths. These responses may be measured using instruments such as colorimeters or spectrophotometers to give numeric values in a standardized color space such as L *a*b*.
During color evaluation, maintaining consistent light sources and viewing conditions is critical. Standard viewing conditions vary depending on the object being evaluated, including factors such as brightness, illumination angle, and observer position. Accurate evaluation can be achieved by establishing a proper environment that meets these requirements.
In development and production sites with extremely high color requirements, such as the automotive and cosmetics industries, accurately reproducing colors is essential. Color evaluation helps determine whether the color matches the intended image or target color. It is the process of measuring color, analyzing its characteristics, and evaluating how well it aligns with a specific target color.

Color differences are compared visually using standard light sources or reference colors (such as color cards). This method allows color confirmation under conditions close to natural light, making it ideal for color inspection in design and production processes.
Measurements are performed using a spectrophotometer or colorimeter. This method eliminates the subjective influence of the operator and is widely used for product quality control and industrial applications, enabling scientific quantification of color.
Color evaluation is widely used across industries such as product development and quality control departments in manufacturing.
Typical applications include:
Automotive Industry
Used for quality evaluation of automotive paint, exterior parts, and interior components.
Coatings & Materials Industry
Used to maintain and manage color accuracy for coatings, plastics, glass products, and more.
Cosmetics Industry
Used to verify color consistency in products such as lipsticks and foundations.
Molded Products (Resin & Plastics)
Used to evaluate color difference and uniformity of surface effects in finished products.
Furniture & Building Materials Industry
Used to ensure color consistency in materials such as wood and plywood. Food & Pharmaceutical Industry Used to assess color consistency of food packaging and color differences in pharmaceutical capsules.
a. It’s needed to perform manual calibration for NH310 when first starting.
b. In the subsequent starting, NH310 will perform auto calibration at startup. No need to perform manual calibration.
c. Suggestion: it’s best to perform manual calibration once a week or when NH310 measured data is not accurate.
The Colour Assessment Cabinet (CAC) is a controlled environment used for the visual evaluation of color wherein the light sources are consistent.
