MS3012 Twelve-Angle Multi-Angle Spectrophotometer
The 3nh MS3012 is a twelve-angle multi-angle spectrophotometer for measuring metallic, pearlescent, and complex special-effect finishes. Measurements from multiple viewing angles help assess color appearance and variation on automotive coatings and similar surfaces. The instrument supports evaluation of Sparkle Grade (SG), Diffuse Coarseness (DC), and Color Variation (CV), with repeatable measurement on curved as well as flat surfaces. Choose the measurement setup according to the sample, finish, and inspection requirements.
