3NH TS8560 spectrophotometer

3NH TS8560 Spectrophotometer

The 3NH TS8560 Spectrophotometer is an advanced benchtop color measurement system designed for high-precision analysis of both reflectance and transmittance. Built with an integrated Φ154mm sphere, dual light sources (LED and Xenon), and a 256-element CMOS sensor, the TS8560 excels in color quality control, haze evaluation, and material transmission testing. Its wide spectral range (360–780nm), support for multiple measurement geometries (D/8, D/0), and extensive colorimetric functionality make it ideal for laboratories and industries such as paint, ink, textile, printing, and plastics.

Features

1. Dual-mode measurement system supporting reflectance (D/8) and transmittance (D/0), with SCI/SCE and UV-included/excluded options for comprehensive sample analysis.

2. 10.5-inch rotatable display, integrated camera positioning, 128GB internal storage, and multi-angle measurement options including side, upward, and downward.

3. Open transmission chamber allows evaluation of samples with thickness up to 54mm, ideal for large or irregular items.

4. Built-in temperature and humidity compensation enhances result stability and accuracy in various environments.

5. Uses both high-life LED and Xenon light sources to improve fluorescent sample detection and spectral coverage.

Applications

1. Widely used in the paint, coating, and ink industries for precise color matching and consistency.

2. Ideal for quality control in textiles and garments, ensuring uniform color standards across different batches.

3. Applied in plastic and packaging production for evaluating transparency, haze, and liquid color parameters.

4. Used in laboratories for advanced color science research, color difference analysis, and color strength determination.

5. Essential in the printing and dyeing industry for measuring staining fastness, opacity, and metamerism.
