Advancing Color Science with the YR05493 Grating Spectrophotometer

Product Description

The YR05493 Grating Spectrophotometer stands at the cutting edge of color measurement technology, integrating precision and advanced functionalities to deliver unparalleled accuracy suitable for a variety of fields such as plastics, textiles, paints, and ceramics. This state-of-the-art instrument utilizes D/8 optical geometry (diffused illumination, 8-degree viewing angle) with both “Specular Component Included” (SCI) and “Specular Component Excluded” (SCE) modes. It also accommodates UV light sources for comprehensive analysis.

Equipped with a flat grating spectrophotometric module, it ensures superior performance across a spectral range of 400-700 nm, with wavelength intervals of 10 nm, making it a robust tool in laboratory settings. A silicon photodiode array sensor captures sensitive data through 40 group arrays. The device features a full spectrum LED and UV light source housed within a Φ40mm integrating sphere for consistent illumination. Measuring apertures come in three configurations: MAV with dimensions of Φ8mm/Φ10mm, SAV with Φ4mm/Φ5mm, and LAV of 1x3mm, each tailored for distinct measurement needs.

Notably, the device’s repeatability and inter-instrument error rates are maintained within ΔE*ab 0.03 and ΔE*ab 0.15, respectively, reflecting its formidable accuracy and reliability. With features that include a vibrant 3.5-inch TFT color LCD, capacitive touch screen, and compatibility with various color spaces such as CIE LAB, XYZ, LCh, and more, users gain access to comprehensive color data visualization. Connectivity is facilitated by USB and Bluetooth 4.2, while a robust storage capacity allows up to 30,000 sample records.
