Product Description
The Benchtop Spectrophotometer YG0904 by Yulgary represents cutting-edge technology in the field of laboratory color analysis and accurate color transmission. Designed to meet the most stringent industry standards, this spectrophotometer is a vital tool across various sectors, including paints, inks, textiles, garments, printing, and dyeing.
With a versatile optical geometry that supports reflectance and transmittance measurements, the YG0904 uses both SCI (specular component included) and SCE (specular component excluded) configurations. Its ability to include or exclude UV light enhances its adaptiveness to different testing environments and conditions. Additionally, the device adheres to international standards such as CIE No.15 and ASTM E1164, ensuring precision and reliability.
The YG0904 features an impressive integrating sphere size of Φ154mm, a wide wavelength range from 360 nm to 780 nm, and a concave grating spectrophotometric mode. Equipped with a 256 Image Element Double Array CMOS Image Sensor, it facilitates detailed analysis and accurate measurements. This robust machinery boasts a reflectance range of 0-200% and flexible measuring apertures that provide automatic identification of switch caliber and customizable configuration.
Color management becomes streamlined with support for multiple color spaces, including CIE LAB, XYZ, and HunterLab, along with comprehensive color difference formulae like ΔE*ab and ΔE*00. The observer angle options of 2°/10° and a broad range of illuminants like D65, A, C, and others ensure versatile application across multiple scenarios. The device’s capability for quick measurement times—approximately 2.4 seconds for SCI & SCE readings—enhances workflow efficiency.
