NS810 Sphere Spectrophotometer
Portable d/8° sphere spectrophotometer with SCI measurement — Φ58 mm integrating sphere, ΔE*ab 0.04 repeatability and a full reflectance curve for colour control in the field or on the line.
- d/8° sphere geometry with a Φ58 mm integrating sphere, SCI measurement regardless of sample gloss
- ΔE*ab 0.04 repeatability and ΔE*ab ≤ 0.2 inter-instrument agreement
- Full 400–700 nm reflectance curve and the complete set of colour-difference formulas
- 3.5" touchscreen, 1,000 standards / 15,000 sample memory, USB and RS-232
The NS810 is a portable spectrophotometer with d/8° sphere geometry (diffuse illumination, 8° viewing angle) operating in SCI mode — it captures the total light reflected from a sample regardless of its texture or gloss. A Φ58 mm integrating sphere and a vertical housing design deliver stable, repeatable readings even in the field.
Beyond L*a*b* and ΔE values, the instrument displays the full spectral reflectance curve and colour-matching functions, making it easy to catch even small colour deviations at every stage of production. The bundled PC software stores, edits and prints measurement results.
