36-Patch Dynamic Range Test Chart

This 36-Patch Dynamic Range Test Chart Instrument are Certified with
certify
1 Years Warranty (Additional support period of 3 years)

This chart has 36 low-noise density patches with density steps of approximately 0.1, for a density range of at least 3.2 (density from base to base + 3.1 minimum). A nearly circular patch arrangement ensures that vignetting has minimal effect on results.  A CSV reference file with actual densities will be supplied.  The chart has an active area of 197x235 mm (7.75x9.25 inches) on 203x254 mm (8x10 inch) film.

It also contains slanted edges in the center and corners with 4:1 contrast for measuring MTF. The edges have an MTF50 >= 16 cycles/mm, which is about 3 times better than the best inkjet charts. Registration marks make the regions easy to select. A neutral gray background helps ensure that the chart will be well-exposed in auto exposure cameras (compared to charts with black backgrounds, which are sometimes strongly overexposed).

It is supported by Stepchart, Multicharts, Multitest and can be used with the Dynamic Range postprocessor if several manual exposures are available. Dmax >= 3.4 is sufficient for camera phones and digital cameras with small pixel sizes, but high-end DSLRs generally have higher dynamic ranges (and also manual exposure), which makes them well suited for Dynamic Range.

This chart is produced with a high-precision LVT film recording process for the best possible density range, low noise, and fine detail.

FAQs About  Dynamic Range Charts

A digital coating thickness gauge is used to measure the thickness of dried paint. It measures coating thickness specification non-destructively, helping to maintain consistent quality and performance.


In industrial production and quality control, color consistency is one of the core elements determining product quality. Whether it is the metallic paint for automobile coating, the dyeing effect of textile fabrics, or the ink matching in packaging and printing, subtle color deviations may lead to cost waste or damage to brand image.

The LAB color space defines colors with a three-dimensional model:

  1. Lightness (L): It indicates the lightness or darkness of a color, ranging from 0 (pure black) to 100 (pure white).

  2. Hue and Saturation (a and b):

    • The a-axis represents the red-green tendency, with positive values leaning towards red and negative values leaning towards green;

    • The b-axis represents the yellow-blue tendency, with positive values leaning towards yellow and negative values leaning towards blue.

It is a globally recognized standard and supported by most modern color measurement equipment. Color is quantitatively analyzed by measuring Lab values with instruments.

Compared to an analog model, digital gauges not only provide more accuracy, but also allow for greater repeatability and are easier to work with. Advanced digital gauges allow for features such as data storage and automatic calibration and statistical analysis. For these reasons, digital gauges are the preferred choice for professional applications.


3nh Instrument Recommendation for Translucent Materials

1. YS6002 / YS6002-M Color & Haze Meter

Equipped with d/8° integrating sphere and D/0 transmission structure, it comprehensively tests color difference, haze, transmittance and yellowing index. Ideal for translucent film, frosted glass, milky plastic and liquid samples, perfectly suitable for laboratory and production quality control.

2. KS1500 / KS1510 Color Haze Meter

Adopts large integrating sphere and full-spectrum optical design, delivers stable diffuse transmission data. Specially optimized for thick translucent sheets and high-haze materials, ensuring accurate and consistent color measurement.

3. TS8560 Spectrophotometer

High-precision benchtop model with dual reflection & transmission measurement modes. Supports SCI/SCE detection, with excellent inter-instrument agreement, meeting strict color inspection standards for high-end translucent materials.

4. TS8510 Portable Spectrophotometer

Compact and portable, optional transmission accessory for fast on-site testing of thin translucent samples. Great for factory spot inspection and mobile quality checking.


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.
