Reflectance Spectral PhotoMeter

A reflectance spectrophotometer illuminates the sample surface with a light source and detects the wavelength distribution of the reflected light. It is used to measure the color and gloss of materials such as coatings and plastics, control ink color differences in the printing industry, and monitor paper whiteness during the papermaking process.
Selection
When selecting, consider that the measurement aperture matches the sample size and the wavelength range covers the application requirements. Pay attention to the instrument's repeatability indicator to ensure long-term measurement stability. Portable devices are suitable for on-site testing, while benchtop equipment is ideal for fixed laboratory use.
