YS3060 Spectrophotometer
The flagship sphere spectrophotometer in the YS series — simultaneous SCI/SCE measurement, 18 illuminants, ΔE* ≤ 0.03 repeatability and a built-in sample-preview camera.
- d/8° sphere geometry (Φ48 mm) with simultaneous SCI and SCE measurement
- Dual interchangeable measuring apertures plus a UV lamp for optical-brightener detection
- ΔE* ≤ 0.03 repeatability and ΔE* ≤ 0.15 inter-instrument agreement — the best in the YS series
- USB and Bluetooth, 2,000 standards / 20,000 sample memory, built-in sample-preview camera
The YS3060 is the most advanced sphere spectrophotometer in the YS series — d/8° geometry with a Φ48 mm integrating sphere, measuring simultaneously in SCI and SCE mode. A dual interchangeable aperture and a UV lamp (for detecting optical brighteners and fluorescence) push its accuracy beyond the simpler models in the range, with ΔE* ≤ 0.03 repeatability on a white calibration tile.
An ergonomic, compact housing, a built-in camera for previewing the measurement point and a 3.5" capacitive touchscreen make it comfortable to use day to day. USB and Bluetooth connectivity, plus capable PC software, cover data export and archiving.

Applications
The YS3060 suits apparel, plastics and printing production, furniture and upholstery manufacturing, and construction. Its UV lamp makes it particularly useful wherever optical-brightener and fluorescence control matters, such as textiles and paper. It is also used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic quality control.
