3NH TS8510 spectrophotometer

3NH TS8510 Spectrophotometer

The 3NH TS8510 is a high-performance benchtop spectrophotometer engineered for accurate color, transmittance, and haze analysis. Equipped with a large 154 mm integrating sphere, a wide-spectrum LED light source (with optional UV and multiple cut-off filters), and a dual-array 256-element CMOS sensor, this device ensures compliance with global standards such as CIE, ISO, ASTM, DIN, and JIS. It features a 10.5-inch rotatable touchscreen, onboard camera for precise sample positioning, and a spacious transmission chamber for samples up to 54 mm thick—making it a reliable choice for color quality control in various industries.

Features

1. Dual measurement modes: Reflectance (D/8) and Transmittance (D/0) with SCI/SCE and UV inclusion/exclusion for comprehensive color analysis.

2. Large, user-friendly 10.5-inch touch screen display with 128 GB storage and camera-assisted sample alignment.

3. Flexible measurement orientations, including side, top, and bottom, with accessory support.

4. Open transmission compartment accommodates thick samples (up to 54 mm), ideal for films and liquids.

5. Built-in temperature and humidity compensation ensures measurement stability in varying environments.

6. Automatically detects aperture size and allows custom configurations for aperture and lens positions.

Applications

1. Quality inspection and color matching for paints, inks, and coatings.

2. Textile and garment industries for checking color consistency and fastness.

3. Printing and dyeing sectors for evaluating color uniformity, strength, and metamerism.

4. Plastic and packaging industries for haze, transmittance, and liquid color analysis.

5. Research labs conducting precise optical measurements including APHA, Gardner, and Saybolt indices.

6. Conformance testing with national and international color measurement standards.
