Distinctness of Image, DOI

Distinctness of Image, DOIwave-scan DOI
The Objective Eye for a Brilliant Finish

The appearance of surface changes with the size and distinctness of structures. Structures will be perceived as being very distinct, if e.g. an edge is reflected on the surface with high contrast and sharpness. The wave-scan Distinctness of Image, DOI, evaluates structure size as well as the brilliance of the surface.

Total Appearance - Orange Peel and DOI

  • High correlation to the visual by analyzing the structure size: Ultra short to Ultra long wave
  • DOI: Distinctness of Image - objective criteria for brilliance and gloss
  • Classical Long wave (LW) and Short wave (SW)
  • Independent of paint system and refractive index - no matter whether comparing 1 K, 2 K or powder coasting
  • Reproducible results on test panels and curved parts (r > 1 m)
  • For solid and metallic coatings

. . . in one handy instrument

  • portable; easy to operate with one hand
  • highly reliable results due to self calibration
  • operation according to your own sampling procedures
  • storage of 599 readings with clear object identification
  • auto-chart software for professional analysis, documentation and data management
