COLOUR SPECTROPHOTOMETER
3nh Colour Spectrophotometers
Colour spectrophotometers from 3nh Technology are popular colour measurement instruments preferredin several different industries. As colour assessment is applicable to a wide spectrum of application areas, 3nh Technology offers different systems suitable for varied applications, including portable and bench-top spectrophotometers, spectro-densitometers, and grating spectrophotometers.
Portable Colour Spectrophotometers – NS Series
The NS series spectrophotometers are handy and portable colour measurement systems ideal for on-site applications. It has two models – NS800 and NS810. Both the models have several common specifications and are equipped with 3.5” touch screens.
The size of their integrating spheres is Φ58mm, while their wavelength range is 400~700nm and measuring aperture Φ8mm. With both the systems, you can assess colour in different colour spaces such as CIE LAB, XYZ, Yxy, LCh, CIE LUV, LAB&WI&YI. The major difference between the NS800 and NS810 is in the illumination/observation system. The NS800 is equipped with a 45/0 method (45 ring-shaped illumination, vertical viewing) and the NS810 has d/8 (diffused illumination, 8-degree viewing angle).
