3nh PS110 Portable Spectrophotometer (400–700nm, D/8)

3nh PS110 Portable Spectrophotometer (400–700nm, D/8)

In the modern industrial manufacturing and processing era, maintaining absolute color consistency between incoming and outgoing batches is a vital challenge to preserving a business’s reputation. However, conventional colorimeters are often easily deceived by surface gloss or remain completely helpless against metamerism (a phenomenon where two color samples look identical under workshop lights but mismatch completely when brought into natural daylight). The 3nh PS110 Handheld Spectrophotometer is the comprehensive upgrade solution – a wide-range spectral scanning instrument featuring a premium d/8 optical structure, helping enterprises scientifically digitize colors and completely eliminate subjective human eye errors within an extremely economical budget.

Overview of the 3nh PS110 Spectrophotometer

The 3nh PS110 is a dedicated handheld spectrophotometer, perfectly optimized by the 3nh brand for mobile inspection capabilities directly across workshops, warehouses, or QC rooms. The device utilizes the international standard d/8 optical geometric structure (diffuse integrating sphere illumination, 8-degree viewing angle), meeting and exceeding the stringent regulations of the International Commission on Illumination (CIE No.15), ISO 7724/1, and ASTM E1164.

The core strength that establishes the PS110’s absolute superiority over conventional colorimeters lies in its capability to analyze spectral reflectance curves. Instead of simply reading basic color values, the instrument dissects the visible light energy from a wavelength range of 400 nm to 700 nm, delivering color quantification results with excellent lab-standard accuracy and repeatability.

Outstanding Features of the 3nh PS110

💡 International Standard d/8 Optical Structure – Eliminating Optical Errors

Utilizing a strictly manufactured diffuse integrating sphere system, the PS110 distributes light evenly at 180 degrees over the sample surface. This high-end d/8 (8-degree) optical path enables the device to accurately measure the core chromatic values inside the material, automatically compensating for and completely eliminating interference from slight gloss or matte/rough surface textures, yielding ideally stable measurement results.

💡 Comprehensive Wide-Range Spectral Analysis Capability (400–700nm)

Featuring a continuous spectral scanning range that completely covers the visible light spectrum perceptible to the human eye (400 to 700 nm), the 3nh PS110 can reconstruct the material’s spectral reflectance curve in detail. This in-depth spectral scanning technology enables enterprises to exercise absolute control over metamerism, ensuring that outgoing shipments match in color under any inspection light source.

💡 Simultaneous Integration of Dual Advanced Measuring Modes: SCI and SCE

The advanced optical system of the PS110 allows technicians to flexibly analyze product appearance characteristics through two modes:

• SCI (Specular Component Included): Measures the actual inherent core color of the material, eliminating the influence of gloss, dedicated to quality-controlling plastic pellet formulas and incoming paint batches.
• SCE (Specular Component Excluded): Measures the actual color shade displayed to the consumer’s eye, perfectly serving the visual appearance evaluation process of finished products according to real visual perception.

💡 Standard Flat Measuring Aperture and Ultra-Fast Operation

The PS110 is equipped with an industry-standard flat measuring head with a commonly used size (Phi 8mm aperture), which is perfectly suited for the vast majority of industrial manufacturing material samples. The flat head design allows the device to fit flush against the large flat surfaces of products, eliminating external stray light leakage. With a single trigger operation taking less than 1.5 seconds, the machine instantly delivers visual color deviation results.

💡 Intuitive Pass/Fail Evaluation and PC Software Connection

The sharp industrial LCD display of the PS110 provides a full range of international color spaces (CIE Lab, XYZ, LCh…) along with the Delta E*ab color difference index. The smart alert mode automatically compares measurement data with the standard sample and instantly displays a Pass or Fail result, helping workshop operators quickly screen defective parts directly on the production line. Concurrently, the instrument easily connects to color management software on a PC via a USB port to export professional PDF Quality Control Reports (QC Report) to send to partners.
