Spectrophotometer FB 9500 Desktop
The FB9500 Desktop Spectrophotometer is a high-precision color measurement instrument featuring a dual-array CMOS image sensor, D/8 optical geometry, simultaneous SCI/SCE testing, and a 7-inch rotatable touchscreen for fast, accurate, and repeatable color analysis.
The Presto Stantest FB9500 Desktop Spectrophotometer is a tool that provides stable color measurements. It uses a CMOS image sensor that is very sensitive and covers a wide range of wavelengths. The user controls it with a 7 inch touchscreen. The spectrophotometer can keep reflectance measurements within an error of Delta Eab Less Then Equal to 0.015. When you run tests at stations, the differences stay small within Delta Eab 0.15. The device also automatically adjusts for temperature and humidity, so results stay consistent over test sessions. The D/8 optical design lets you read both SCI and SCE at the same time. You can place samples in different ways, and the device comes with a large library of illuminants. This makes the spectrophotometer useful for color tasks in plastics, electronics, paint, ink, textiles, garment dyeing, printing, and general printing
