A SPIN measurement truly evaluates the color without respect to gloss or texture, while a SPEX measurement captures the full appearance of a sample. To exclude gloss, the specular port opens to let the specular component escape. The texture and/or gloss influence of samples can vary greatly, especially with reflective material, textiles, and textile materials. To include gloss in the measurement, the specular port closes. The reference beam port monitors the sphere wall to account for changes in illumination.Ī sphere spectrophotometer has features of a conventional bench-top spectrophotometer and can provide reflectance measurements in two ways: specular included (SPIN) and specular excluded (SPEX). The sample and gloss angle are both viewed by the detector at 8° from perpendicular, so this is where the specular port is located. A baffle prevents it from directly illuminating the sample, which provides diffuse illumination. The inside of a sphere instrument is a highly reflective white surface with a light source on the rear. It is commonly used for measuring color that has been applied to textured surfaces such as textiles, carpets, and plastics, as well as shiny or mirror-like surfaces like metallic inks, printing over foil, and other highly glossy surfaces.


A sphere spectrophotometer measures the light reflected at all angles to calculate a color measurement that closely matches human vision. It can be a challenge to measure reflective surfaces because the effect of gloss can change the color appearance. Why Choose a Portable Sphere Spectrophotometer?
