The color-view spec­tropho­tome­ter is a highly reli­able 45/0 instru­ment with cir­cum­fer­en­tial illu­mi­na­tion. It is designed to mea­sure rough, direc­tio­nal sur­faces, pel­lets or pow­dered mate­rials like plas­tic con­cen­trates and resins, and smooth uni­form sur­faces like paint draw­downs and spray­outs, all with the same degree of cer­tainty.

• Vari­ety of sam­ples can be mea­sured with interchange­able aper­tures: 4, 11, 32 mm
