2. System description and Delivery notes
spectro-guide is a portable spectrophotometer
which can be used to ensure consistent quality in
incoming and outgoing QC. It’s operated with
batteries to meet the demands of measurements in
the field.
The measurement principle is based on the
measurement of spectral reflectance within the
visable spectrum from 400–700 nm. Two
measurement geometries are provided: 45/0 and
d/8. With 45/0, illumination occurs in a circular
pattern at an angle of 45°, while the observation
angle is 0°. With d/8, the sample is illuminated
diffusely, while the observation angle is 8° “from the
vertical”. Additionally, 60° gloss is measured
simultaneously.
Up to 1500 standards and 999 samples can be
stored. This includes not only individual readings,
but also the calculation of mean values. The
measurement results are shown on the display.
The instrument is operated by the Operate button,
four cursor buttons, and the automatic trigger. The
Operate button is also used to switch on the
instrument.
All common color systems, color differance
equations, indices, illuminants and observers are
available for quality control and analysis.
The display can be configured in German, English,
French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese or Chinese.
