3NH MS3012 Multi-angle spectrophotometer

3NH MS3012 Multi-angle Spectrophotometer

The 3NH MS3012 is a high-performance multi-angle spectrophotometer specifically engineered to measure complex special effect colors such as metallic, pearlescent, and high-gloss finishes. Equipped with precision optical components, advanced CMOS sensors, and versatile angle configurations, the MS3012 delivers reliable, repeatable, and highly accurate color and effect measurements across multiple industries.

Features

1. Multi-angle Precision: Supports 6-angle measurements for sparkle, color variation, and diffuse coarseness, making it ideal for analyzing complex coatings and finishes.

2. Advanced Sensing System: Equipped with a concave grating spectrophotometric system and 256-element double-array CMOS sensor for precise color capture.

3. Robust Light Source: Utilizes a full-spectrum LED light source with blue enhancement for high color fidelity and a lamp life of over 3 million measurements.

4. High Repeatability and Reproducibility: Ensures stable readings with chromaticity value repeatability within ΔEab 0.02 and inter-instrument error at only 0.18 ΔE00.

5. Comprehensive Color Space and Index Support: Measures in standard and industry-specific color spaces, including automotive brand-specific color difference formulas.

6. User-Friendly Interface: Live color camera preview, multiple trigger modes, and intelligent display of spectrograms, PASS/FAIL results, and effect metrics.
