Product Description
The Grating Spectrophotometer series, comprising models YR05500, YR05501, and YR05502, represents a leap forward in precision and versatility for laboratory spectrophotometry. Each device boasts a reflect optical geometry of diffused illumination (di:8°, de:8°), facilitating accurate color analysis over a broad range of materials. Central to its operation is a 48mm integrating sphere that captures scattered light efficiently.
These spectrophotometers are equipped with advanced light sources: the YR05500 model combines LED and UV lights, while the YR05501 and YR05502 models utilize combined LED lights. Both concave grating and a 256-image element double array CMOS image sensor work in tandem to deliver high precision within a 400-700nm wavelength range, with a wavelength and semiband width interval of 10nm. The measured reflectance ranges between 0-200%, providing expansive measurement capabilities.
