Enhanced Performance Technology Konica Minolta Innovative Optical System The CM-3600d is equipped with Minolta Innovative Optical System technology. For users, this means high accuracy and repeatability, improved performance, additional features, simple operation, and - low, affordable pricing. [. . . ] This technology also provides: Performance Fast, simultaneous measurement of Specular Included and Specular Excluded components (SCI/SCE) Fast, Instantaneous numerical UV adjustment enables UV-included, UV-excluded, and UV-adjusted data to be obtained simultaneously Precise inter-instrument agreement. All CM-3600d's meet published inter-instrument agreement. Full range of application coverage Whatever your sample looks like, with the CM-3600d you can measure it!Reflectance of opaque samples, Transmittance of transparent liquids or solids and Diffuse Transmittance of translucent materials such as plastics - the CM-3600d is truly versatile. Versatility Full wavelength range 360-740nm with 10nm pitch Large (6") sphere; d/8° geometry Reflectance and transmittance sample measurements Changeable measurement areas (ø4mm, ø8mm, or ø25. 4mm) View finder design for easy sample viewing Compact and lightweight For high-accuracy color control The newly designed Monolith Polychromator Unit consists of a diffraction grating with a full wavelength range, 360-740 nm, at 10nm pitch, and 10nm half-band width, both for sample and reference light, and dual-channel sensor array. 1. Numerical Gloss Control Instead of using a mechanically driven gloss trap, the CM-3600d is equipped with a patented numerical Gloss (SCl/SCE) control system. By sequentially firing two flashes, within a few seconds the system provides both SCI and SCE values for each sample. specular component included SCE. . . . . . . . . specular component excluded Reliability High reliability design with fewest moving parts of any benchtop spectrophotometer Transmittance Measurement-The CM-3600d employs the d/0° geometry (diffused lighting, 0° viewing), which conforms to ISO, DIN, CIE, and ASTM standards. Reflectance Measurement-The CM-3600d employs d/8° geometry (diffused lighting, 8° from normal viewing) which conforms to JlS, ISO, DIN, CIE and ASTM standards. SpectraMagic NX TM (Optional) Supports Windows®2000/XP Konica Minolta Innovative Optical System Technology Konica Minolta's Innovative Optical System, including Numerical Gloss Control and Numerical UV Control, opens the way to unlimited application versatility at a price level never seen before. Multiple measurement area selection Bright and clear sample viewing system The retro mirror's reflected and illuminated sample viewing screen minimizes fatigue and allows trouble-free sample observation. To cover all kinds of samples, the CM-3600d gives you the choice among three aperture sizes: LAV 25. 4mm, MAV 8mm and SAV 4mm with precise measurement spot adjustment by a motorized observing lens. 2. Numerical UV Control To replace the time-consuming traditional UV measurement system that utilizes moving filters, the CM-3600d introduces yet another patented numerical calculation system, never seen before: The measured values of two sequentially fired flashes, one with full UV energy and one with UV cut-off filter at either 400 or 420 nm are combined to obtain the spectral characteristics, and the respective whiteness and tint value of any UVactivated fluorescence sample. · Windows® is a trademark of Microsoft Corporation in the USA and other countries.
