spectro-guide Total Appearance Control – color and gloss in one unit Appearance The overall appearance of a product is influenced by color and gloss. A sample of the same color but higher gloss level is visually perceived darker and more saturated than a low gloss sample. In order to get a uniform appearance, both attributes need to be controlled. The spectro-guide spectrophotometer is unique as it measures both attributes simultaneously. Thus, the cause of a mismatch can be clearly defined in any situation. ■ Color (45/0 or sphere) and 60° gloss are displayed at the same time ■ In compliance with international specifications ■ Tolerances for color and gloss allow quick pass/fail decisions in production Solid Color Easy to use and handle ■ Light weight and small size – weighs only 500 g ■ Ergonomic design – can easily measure difficult to access areas ■ Designated buttons for standard and sample readings ■ Customization of the display to your needs Physical Properties The spectro-guide spectrophotometer makes quality control simple and secure – even for color beginners. Thanks to the intuitive pulldown menu and the four-cursor button operation, quality control has never been easier.

textured surfaces The key criterion for a 45/0 instrument is a circumferential illumination, spectro-guide 45/0 is using a unique, patented measurement principle to achieve a 100% circumferential illumi- nation. A white coated hemisphere acts as a mixing chamber and guarantees completely uniform illumination. Thus, any influence of measurement direction is eliminated and excellent repeatability even on highly textured surfaces is guaranteed. Temperature Stability . spi't.
