(Discontinued) CM-3600d Spectrophotometer
The CM-3600D Spectrophotometer is a bench top model capable of being controlled by computers using Windows software. This device has proven to be extremely accurate and can measure at 10nm over a wide range of wavelengths (360 – 740nm) using a dual channel sensor and double beam technology.
Included in the CM-3600D Spectrophotometer are components that reduce the time delay when switching between SCE and SCI as well as filter movements. There are three measurement diameters (25.4mm, 8mm, and 4mm) making it easy to measure a variety of sample sizes. This exceptionally advanced device is able to measure color transparency and grants the user control over numerical gloss and UV. The device is lightweight and compact with a viewfinder enhancing the ease of use from a seated position.
The CM-3600D Spectrophotometer is compatible with Spectra Magic NX software. The software is easy to use and displays editable data results via multiple views. Two or more secondary targets can be associated with targeted data from a primary target; this capability coincides with sophisticated QC applications like checking for color differences.
The software works on a drag-and drop platform which allows for easy interpretation after printing. For displaying information there is a variety of graph available along with preconfigured templates. There is also a status window in which users may view instrument information. Information compiled through older software is compatible with current software and can easily be transferred; all data is Excel exportable. Included with the software are a Color Tutorial and a Navigation Function to provide users with additional information.
