The Ultimate Tool for Precision Color Measurement

The 3nh Spectrocolorimeter instruments adopts a CMOS dual - channel spectral sensor and is equipped with a Φ8mm platform measurement aperture. It has excellent repeatability and inter - instrument agreement. The measurement data is continuously stable, accurate, and reliable. With its comfortable and round - shaped appearance, it is very appealing. The quality management software facilitates quality monitoring and data management. It is mainly used for color difference quality control in industries such as plastic electronics, paint and ink, textile and garment dyeing and printing, printing, and ceramics.

Spectrocolorimeter is a highly accurate color measurement instrument that can not only measure the value of color, but also provide detailed color information by analyzing spectral data. Unlike traditional colorimeter, spectrocolorimeter can ensure the accuracy and consistency of color measurement by analyzing spectral data of the whole band, so it is widely used in industries that require high-precision color control.

Spectrocolorimeter Geometry

The d/8 (diffuse/8 degree observation) geometry is a common structure for spectrocolorimeter, which means that the light source is evenly illuminated on the sample surface through a diffuser (such as an integrating sphere), and the observation angle is fixed at 8 degrees. This geometry can simulate a variety of real-world lighting conditions, making the measurement more accurate and able to measure materials with different surface characteristics.

SCI/SCE mode:

SCI (Specular Component Included): Contains specular reflection components, which are used to evaluate the overall appearance and glossiness of the material.

SCE (Specular Component Excluded): Excludes specular components, focuses on surface color, and is not affected by gloss.

Through SCI/SCE technology, the Spectrocolorimeter can flexibly choose whether to include specular reflection light during measurement, which is suitable for more accurate analysis of surface gloss and color.

Spectrocolorimeter Features and Benefits:


  • High accuracy and repeatability : The biggest advantage of the Spectrocolorimeter is that it provides highly accurate color data through full spectrum analysis. It can measure a variety of optical properties including reflectance, transmittance, and surface gloss, and is particularly suitable for color measurement under strict lighting conditions.


  • Full spectrum measurement : The instrument is able to analyze the visible light spectrum from 400nm to 700nm, ensuring accurate measurement results even in complex lighting environments. Especially when dealing with fluorescent materials or high-gloss surfaces, the Spectrocolorimeter can easily cope with it, avoiding spectrum loss or inaccurate measurements.


  • Flexible geometry : Spectrocolorimeter usually adopts d/8 (diffuse/8 degree observation) or SCI/SCE mode, which can flexibly choose whether to include specular reflection light. This makes it more flexible and accurate when measuring glossy surfaces.


  •  Advanced Color Management : The Spectrocolorimeter is equipped with SQCX software, which enables comprehensive color analysis and data management. It can record data in multiple color spaces, generate detailed test reports, and allow customization of color management processes to improve the efficiency of quality control.
