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.
A sphere instrument may be operated under two different measurement conditions:

- specular included (spin)
- 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.

Differences in gloss / texture Color differences

On the automotive interior plaque, you will get no difference between the two structured sides: ΔE* = 0

Applications for measurements taken in “spin” mode:

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

In the “spex” mode, a gloss trap is used to capture the directly reflected light (gloss). This configuration simulates the 45/0 geometry.

Handheld Spectrophotometer with High-Tech LEDs
High-tech. Smart. Experienced.

The spectro2go uses innovative, high performance LED technology as light sources. Smart testing combined with our long-standing experience guarantees an outstanding performance of the LEDs. Short-term, long-term and temperature stability as well as a homogeneous illumination spot are unsurpassed in the industry.
The long lifetime of our LEDs, guaranteed for 10 years, ensure low maintenance - no lamp replacement needed.

Global Color Management
Digital standards. Excellent performance.

A superior accuracy and excellent inter-instrument agreement allow use of digital standards. One binding reference eliminates sources of error and physical standards no longer need to be exchanged. Thus, color control data are reliable and communication among all parties is seamless and efficient.
Digital standards bring the complete supply chain on target!

Brilliant Color Display
Swipe. Touch. Measure.

As for mobile phones, there is a trend towards ever-larger displays. The new spectro2guide is completely in line with this trend offering a 3.5” color touchscreen – the largest on the market. An icon-based menu, colorful data tables and graphics ensure an intuitive smart phone like operation. As you are used to, you can touch or swipe with your fingers – it even works when wearing gloves. Alternatively, you also can use a stylus, which is enclosed in the housing – always handy.

Preview with Camera
Strike. Score. Save.

An integrated camera shows a live preview of the measurement spot. To ensure precise positioning and to prevent false readings on imperfections or scratches, the measurement spot is magnified by a factor of 4.5:1.

It is so easy – just press the measurement button halfway and the live preview is active.
