Konica Minolta CM-3600A Spectrophotometer

Konica Minolta CM-3600a Spectrophotometer

The Konica Minolta CM-3600a is engineered to deliver exceptional accuracy and high long-term reliability. Featuring multi-functional versatility and streamlined operation, this instrument has become a preferred choice for professional color measurement workflows. Thanks to its convenient operational properties, it maintains a leading position among benchtop spectrophotometers available on the market today.

Featuring a compact yet modern industrial structure, the Konica Minolta CM-3600a utilizes a horizontal side-port configuration specifically designed to evaluate the reflectance properties of diverse materials. Furthermore, it possesses the capability to inspect the transparency of liquids as well as opaque-to-transparent solid materials—all within an extremely compact footprint.

Measurement Geometries of the CM-3600A Spectrophotometer

The CM-3600A spectrophotometer integrates two primary measurement optical geometries: reflectance measurement and transmittance measurement. The reflectance geometry is dedicated to opaque specimens. The transmittance geometry is tailored specifically for evaluating transparent specimens, such as liquid solutions, clear plastics, and glass panels.
