YS3010 Spectrophotometer
The entry-level sphere spectrophotometer in the YS series — d/8° geometry, simultaneous SCI/SCE measurement and simple operation for routine colour control.
- d/8° sphere geometry (Φ48 mm) with simultaneous SCI and SCE measurement
- Simple single-aperture measurement — the most accessible configuration in the YS series
- ΔE* ≤ 0.06 repeatability — enough for routine quality control
- USB connectivity, 2,000 standards / 20,000 sample memory, built-in sample-preview camera
The YS3010 is the entry model of the YS sphere-spectrophotometer series — d/8° geometry (Φ48 mm integrating sphere) with simultaneous SCI and SCE measurement, in a simpler, more accessible configuration than the YS3020 and YS3060. A single interchangeable Φ8/10 mm aperture and four core illuminants cover most routine colour-control tasks.
An ergonomic, compact housing, a built-in camera for previewing the measurement point and a 3.5" capacitive touchscreen keep everyday use straightforward. USB connectivity and the bundled PC software cover archiving and exporting results.
