Model 430 UV-Vis spectrophotometer equipped with integrating sphere

Integrating Sphere
Reflectance Spectroscopy

Reflectance and colorimetry analysis have never been easier. Model 430 and 440 spectrophotometers can be used with our 4" remote integrating sphere extending analyses capabilities to diffuse reflectance and color analysis of solid surfaces.

Our integrating spheres include an internal tungsten source for wavelength coverage from 350 nm - 980 nm and utilizes an external shutter for controlling integration times.

Our standard control software allows for reflectance measurements while our colorimetry software provides both color and %R capabilities.

When equipped with our colorimetry software, analysis capabilities are extended to include the following color coordinates.
-CIELUV
-CIELAB
-Hunter
-Yellowness Index
-Whiteness Index
-Tint
