YS6060 Benchtop Spectrophotometer
A laboratory benchtop spectrophotometer with d/8° geometry and simultaneous SCI/SCE — measuring both reflectance and transmittance (haze), with a Φ154 mm sphere, 360–780 nm range and a 7" touchscreen.
- Reflectance AND transmittance (haze per ASTM D1003) in a single benchtop instrument
- d/8° geometry with simultaneous SCI/SCE, Φ154 mm integrating sphere, 360–780 nm range
- ΔE*ab 0.01 repeatability and ΔE*ab 0.12 inter-instrument agreement (12 BCRA tiles)
- Rich industrial index set — WI, YI, Gardner, APHA/Pt-Co, ASTM D1500, pharmacopoeia, EBC, ICUMSA
The YS6060 is a 3nh benchtop laboratory spectrophotometer with d/8° geometry (di:8°/de:8°) and simultaneous SCI and SCE measurement. Unlike reflectance-only instruments, the YS6060 also measures transmittance and haze (per ASTM D1003), so a single unit covers opaque, transparent and liquid samples.
A Φ154 mm integrating sphere, a concave-grating monochromator and a 256-element dual CMOS sensor deliver a 360–780 nm range and high ΔE*ab 0.01 repeatability. Four auto-recognised apertures, a 7" touchscreen and USB/Bluetooth connectivity make it a convenient hub for a colour-control laboratory.

Applications
The YS6060 suits laboratory colour control in paint, ink, textile, plastics and printing production, and — thanks to its transmittance function and liquid indices (Gardner, APHA/Pt-Co, ASTM D1500, pharmacopoeia, EBC, ICUMSA) — the chemical, food and pharmaceutical industries too.
