UltraScan PRO Features
The UltraScan PRO is a dual beam xenon flash spectrophotometer with a wavelength range from 350
to 1050 nanometers (nm). All tristimulus integrations are based on a triangular bandpass having a full
width half max of five nm and are calculated per Paragraph 7.3.1 of ASTM Standard E308. The
wavelength interval is five nm.
The sensor uses an integrating sphere that is six inches in diameter and coated with Spectraflect
to
diffuse the light from the three installed xenon flash lamps. One of the lamps provides light in the UV
region only, one provides IR light only, and the third provides light across the spectral range. The
instrument can measure both reflected and transmitted color of products.

Note: Dropping the instrument or using it in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer may impair the protection afforded by the equipment. Danger of electric
shock if liquids are spilled and fire if volatile liquids are spilled. Use care when
measuring liquid samples.
The UltraScan PRO possesses the following default features:
•
Reflectance port
•
Sample Clamp
•
Transmittance compartment
•
Specular-Included/Excluded Port
Reflectance Port
The reflectance port is located at the front of the sensor. The port is covered by a spring-loaded sample
clamp which is used to hold the specimen in place during measurement. Two guidance holes are
present to aid in placement of the white tile and light trap at the reflectance port. When the small area
of view lens is in use, the small area or large area port plate is installed at the reflectance port.
