TS8560 Benchtop Spectrophotometer (LED + xenon)
A flagship benchtop spectrophotometer with dual LED + xenon light sources, reflectance and transmittance (haze) measurement and a Φ154 mm sphere — with a rotatable 7" screen, 32 GB storage and automatic temperature/humidity compensation.
- Dual light source LED + xenon lamp — better identification of fluorescent samples
- Reflectance (SCI/SCE) and transmittance plus haze (per ASTM D1003) in a single instrument
- Four aperture ranges (XLAV/LAV/MAV/SAV) and a transmission chamber for samples up to 54 mm thick
- Rotatable 7" touchscreen, 32 GB storage, camera positioning, temperature/humidity compensation
The TS8560 is a 3nh flagship benchtop laboratory spectrophotometer with a dual light source — a full-spectrum LED plus a xenon lamp — giving it markedly better fluorescent-sample recognition than standard sphere spectrophotometers. It measures both reflectance (D/8 geometry, SCI/SCE, UV on/off) and transmittance plus haze (per ASTM D1003), covering opaque, transparent and liquid samples with one unit.
A Φ154 mm integrating sphere and four aperture ranges (XLAV/LAV/MAV/SAV) let you match the reading to the sample size, while the open transmission chamber accepts samples up to 54 mm thick. A rotatable 7" touchscreen, 32 GB storage, camera positioning and automatic temperature/humidity compensation make it a convenient, stable laboratory hub.
