spectro-guide sphere gloss

spectro-guide sphere gloss

Color control with d/8° geometry
The Entrance Model for Objective Color Measurement

The visual color matching is subjective and dependent on the environmental conditions.
spectro-guide is an easy-to-use measuring device to objectively measure color and gloss compared to physical standards and document the results in EXCEL.

Color measurement for basic task

Control the hue of your color

spectro-guide 45/0

A sphere geometry illuminates the sample diffusely by means of a white coated integrating sphere. Baffles prevent the light from directly illuminating the sample surface. Measurement is done using an 8° viewing angle.

Kugelgeometrie d/8 Messanordnung

 

A sphere instrument may be operated under two different measurement conditions:
Specular included (spin) - or Specular excluded (spex)
In the ‘’spin’’ mode, the total reflected light is measured:
Diffuse reflection (Color) + direct reflection (Gloss). Color is measured independent of the sample´s gloss or surface texture

Applications for measurements taken in "spin" mode:

  • Color strength depending on dispersion time
  • Weathering and temperature influence on color
  • Color matching
