CHN SPEC DS-1100 Bench-top Image Spectrophotometer (d/8, SCI, ΔE*ab≤0.01)

CHN SPEC DS-1100 Bench-top Image Spectrophotometer (d/8, SCI, ΔE*ab≤0.01)

CHN SPEC DS-1100 Bench-top Image Spectrophotometer is a premium bench-top color measurement instrument belonging to the DigiSpec series by CHNSpec. The breakthrough of this model lies in its ability to perform pixel-by-pixel spectral measurement with ultra-high resolution and absolute precision, setting a new benchmark in industrial color quality control and management.

Outstanding Technological Features

Breakthrough Image Spectrophotometry Technology: Instead of just measuring the average of a surface area like conventional colorimeters, the DS-1100 can capture and analyze the color data and reflectance of each microscopic pixel across the entire image. The minimum measurement area can reach up to 0.0016 mm2 (0.04 x 0.04 mm), allowing precise measurement of micro-details, complex patterns, or non-uniform surfaces.

Ultra-High Repeatability (ΔE*ab <= 0.01): This specification confirms the ultimate stability of the device. Whether measuring on a standard white tile or a black cavity (high absorbance), the repeatable error margin remains less than or equal to 0.01. This ensures outstanding consistency of data even through repeated measurements.

d/8 Geometry and SCI Mode:

• d/8-degree Geometry: Diffuse illumination, 8-degree viewing angle in compliance with international standards (CIE No.15, ISO 7724-1, ASTM E1164).
• SCI (Specular Component Included): A measurement mode that includes the specular reflection component, eliminating the influence of the material’s surface gloss and accurately reflecting the actual color nature of the sample.

Ultra-High Image Resolution (600 dpi): Provides sharp, visual observation of the measurement position on the screen, allowing absolutely precise targeting of the required area without any off-center deviations.

Superior Combined Light Source: Utilizes a combination of Pulse Xenon lamps and high-quality LEDs, covering the full spectrum comprehensively while ensuring a long light source lifespan and the same precision as traditional spectrophotometers.

Practical Applications in Industry

Thanks to its ability to analyze images and measure ultra-microscopic spots, the CHN SPEC DS-1100 is powerfully applied in research & development (R&D) labs and quality control (QC) departments across various industries:

• Textiles and Footwear Industry: Measuring the color of ultra-fine threads, multi-colored textiles, striped patterns, or leather surfaces with complex textures.
• Printing and Packaging Industry: Inspecting halftone dots, micro-text details, or miniature logos on product packaging that conventional large-aperture colorimeters fail to isolate.
• Electronic Components and Microcircuits: Measuring the color of phone casings, buttons, circuit boards, or display screens.
• Construction Materials and Automotive: Analyzing glossy paint coatings and color uniformity on curved surfaces or composite materials.
