Color measurements including Structure and Gloss
The Spectro2Profiler colorimeter enables complete analyses of textured surfaces.
The evaluation of color, gloss and structure is carried out by combining 4 measurement technologies in one device.
The Special Features of the Device are:
- 45/0 color measurement with highest accuracy
- 3D topography measurement with innovative 3D data analysis to determine structure size, structure homogeneity and perceived amplitude
- 2D gloss measurement to obtain the surface reflection of different height levels
- 60° gloss measurement according to international standards
- Intelligent high-tech LEDs with top performance for digital standards
- Large, color touch display for easy operation
- Live preview of the measurement spot to avoid incorrect measurements
- Long-term stable calibration
- Efficient data analysis and documentation using software
- Mobile device
Application Examples:
- Monitoring of yellowing in plastics
- Quality control of standardized, colored paints

Classic Color Measurement against White Standard
Color Sphere Spectrophotometer & Colorimeter
The color sphere spectrophotometer is a highly reliable device with 45° / 0° geometry and circular illumination. It measures with the same accuracy both rough, direction-dependent surfaces, granules or powders (such as plastic concentrates and resins), as well as smooth, uniform surfaces (such as varnish layers). A white standard or zero standard (black) serves as a reference.
Special Features of the Device:
- Fast measurement without heating the samples
- Interchangeable screens for samples of different sizes
- Simultaneous determination of gloss and color
Application Examples:
- Monitoring yellowing in plastics
- Quality control of standardized, colored paints
- Measurement of color changes due to stress
Device Configuration:
- LIGHT SOURCE
