3nh Multi-angle spectrophotometer is used to measure the color difference for the surface paint which is affected by different viewing angles and viewing conditions. Lightweight, Durable, Accurate—Your On-the-Go Color Expert
The Ultimate Tool for True Color Analysis
The 3nh Multiangle Spectrophotometer features up to 12 measurement angles, with a maximum repeatability of ΔEab < 0.04 and color repeatability of ΔEab < 0.02. It is primarily designed for measuring the sparkle, flop, and granularity effects on object surfaces,It can provide accurate and consistent color measurement for metalllics, pearlescents and other complex special effect finished products.
It can not only measure multi-angle color difference, but also measure and characterize special finishes through multiple measuring angles. Even in the curved surface, it also has high measuring accuracy and stability.

The Future of Special-Effect Color Measurement: Multi-Angle Spectrophotometers Lead the Way
A powerful and portable instrument for color measurement, management, transmission, and report printing.


Adopt 7 illumination sources, 2 receivers to measure 12 measurement angles at the same time

Touch screen can display all Angle measurement results, more intuitive view of the comprehensive data.
High - end Hardware Configuration: Dual - array image sensors; Bluetooth transmission; Concave grating for light dispersion.
Stable Measurement: 400 - 700nm blue - enhanced LED, with the standard deviation controlled within 0.08%.
Color Transfer: Measures the sample's reflection spectrum, providing accurate Lab data, applicable for color matching and color transfer.
Measurement Accuracy: Temperature monitoring and compensation. With a built - in temperature sensor, it monitors and compensates for the test environment to ensure accurate measurement results.
User-Centric Design: Its compact, lightweight design (1.2kg) also makes it ideal for both lab-based testing and on-site inspections (e.g., factory production lines, supplier audits).
Traditional colorimeters often miss subtle color shifts visible at different viewing angles, leading to inconsistent products, costly reworks, and disappointed customers. Our Multi-Angle Spectrophotometer solves this challenge by capturing color data from multiple angles, ensuring your products look perfect, no matter how they’re viewed.

FAQs About Multi-angle spectrophotometer
Set the 3nh booth in a tidy, stable position with neutral, clean surroundings, adequate airflow, and a reliable power source, and position it away from direct sunlight or mirrors.
Colorimeters is a color measurement device that are used to capture, communicate, and evaluate color. Colorimeters are more affordable, portable, and easier to use, making them a suitable choice for basic color measurement applications, ideal for quick and routine tests.
spectrophotometers offer higher precision and comprehensive data analysis, are better for research, development, and when dealing with complex or highly precise requirements. The biggest difference is in capability and usage. Spectrophotometers are incredibly powerful and can offer more in-depth color measurements than a colorimeter, such as spectral data.
Colorimeters are primarily used for color quality control, while spectrophotometers are used for analysis and formulation. You can choose the appropriate color measurement equipment according to your application needs.
A visual colorimeter is a type of colorimeter that uses the human eye to compare the color depth of a sample with that of a standard solution for semi-quantitative or quantitative analysis of substances. This method is commonly used for quick, rough evaluations in industries such as petroleum, transparent liquids, varnishes, chemicals and printing, as well as for visual color grading in quality control. Its working principle is to compare the sample with a standard and provide visual color measurement results, rather than relying on electronic sensors.
Visual colorimeters rely on human eye observation, whereas photoelectric colorimeters use sensors to deliver higher precision, complete the measurement automatically through electronic circuits, less subjective color measurement and faster results. They are generally more suitable for rapid, on-line or portable color difference measurement.
Working principle of a photoelectric colorimeter
A light source emits light at specific wavelengths, which interacts with the object surface through reflection and transmission. The light is reflected or absorbed by the sample, and the reflected light or remaining transmitted light is received by a photoelectric sensor (photocell or photodiode). The instrument converts the light intensity signal into an electrical signal, thereby measuring the LAB color values of the sample.
3nh Photoelectric Colorimeter – A Trusted Brand in the Color Measurement Industry
Featuring ultra-high precision, user-friendly interface, light positioning function, high-capacity lithium-ion battery, and multiple optional measurement angles.
Spectrophotometers can only measure haze if it has haze measuring capabilities, as many measure color and transmittance.
Each haze test can take from 3 to 10 seconds depending on the device and the type of sample.
a. When the colorimeter is disconnected to the PC, "Connection Timeout" will occur. At the moment, you have to check whether the USB cable is well connected the colorimeter and the PC. Then you can re-plug the USB to try out.
b. After ensuring the colorimeter is connected to the PC with USB cable, turn on the colorimeter and enter the main menu. Select "Comm" and press "Enter" key to start communication.
c. Turn off CQCS3 software, and reopen it.
