The Innovative CM-3600d Spectrophotometer Brings You Highest Quality Levels in Color Measurement along with Unsurpassed Versatility, User Comfort and Low Cost!
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 (4mm,8mm,or 25.4mm) 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. SCI 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.

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. To avoid triplet effect on FWA treated samples, the CM-3600d can be set to Soft-Flash mode. Numerical UV Control technology makes faster, more effective and reliable measurements of FWA treated materials such as textiles, papers and detergents.

Compact but yet Powerful Designed to meet your highest ergonomic expectations
The compact and space-saving body as well as all functions of the CM-3600d have been designed to ensure easy and fatigue-free operation in daily use. The bright mirror sample viewing system, the sample holder for up to A4 size samples with full 90 lock down, and the versatile Transmittance chamber for liquid or translucent samples are all just where you expect them to be for easy operation. Behind the compact and spacesaving design, you'll find the skills of a top-class instrument with 6" large sphere and other functions so far only found in much larger and more expensive instruments.
SpectraMagic NX enables you to perform comprehensive color inspection and analysis of incoming raw materials, in process production, and outbound color critical goods and materials in virtually any industry. With SpectraMagic NX you can insert digital images with measured data. Measure samples in any of 8 universally accepted color spaces. Select from 15 illuminants, and up to 40 indices to determine specific color and appearance properties, such as strength, brightness, haze, yellowness, opacity and strength. You can even configure up to 3 customized color equations. Reports range from simple Pass/Fail to trend charts, histograms, color plots, and spectral graphs. SpectraMagic NX comes with predefined templates using skin technology, or you can create your own templates. For illustrations and explanations to understanding color and color measurement technology, there is a link to Konica Minolta's well known and respected Precise Color Communication. Step by step navigation help. SpectraMagic NX conforms to FDA 21 CFR Part 11 assuring integrity and reliability of data records.
