YS3020 by 3nh: A High-Precision Spectrophotometer for Accurate Color Analysis
The YS3020 spectrophotometer, developed by 3nh, is designed for color professionals seeking maximum precision in color measurement and analysis. Featuring customizable apertures of 8 mm, 4 mm, or 1×3 mm to suit specific sample types, it adapts seamlessly to a wide range of applications. Its D/8 optical geometry complies with CIE No.15, GB/T 3978, ISO 7724/1, and other major standards, ensuring optimal reproducibility in all quality control environments.
Its energy-efficient, long-life LED light source, combined with a concave grating and a 256-element dual-array CMOS sensor, delivers highly reliable measurements across the 400–700 nm wavelength range. The YS3020 provides precise colorimetric data under multiple illuminants (D65, A, C, D50, D75, etc.) and observer angles (2°/10°), supporting comprehensive analysis of visual rendering, metamerism, and comparative assessment. It simultaneously measures both specular components included (SCI) and excluded (SCE), making it suitable for both glossy and matte surfaces.
The device outputs detailed data including spectral curves, colorimetric values, color differences, and specialized indices such as Whiteness Index, Yellowing Index, 8° Gloss, color fastness, and color strength. Its 3.5-inch full-color touchscreen and user-friendly interface ensure fast and intuitive operation. An integrated camera-based positioning system enables precise sample targeting, minimizing measurement errors.
Built for intensive professional use, the YS3020 is capable of performing over 3 million measurements throughout its lifetime, with up to 5,000 measurements per battery charge. Its internal memory can store up to 20,000 records, with easy access via USB connection. The accompanying PC software expands its analytical capabilities with tools for comparison, reporting, and archiving.
Widely used across various industries—including automotive, plastics, textiles, leather, coatings, food, and R&D laboratories—the YS3020 ensures full compliance with industrial standards. It is a strategic choice for companies seeking color accuracy and analytical reliability.
