Description
Excellent precision on opaque, transparent, translucent, and even dark and highly saturated samples.
The UltraScan VIS color measurement benchtop spectrophotometer measures opaque, transparent, and translucent solids and liquids in the complete CIE recommended spectral range of 360 – 780 nm. It can be used in production and in the laboratory for inspecting raw materials, evaluating finished product or developing methods for color analysis.
