Instrument Description
The MA48 multi-angle spectrophotometer is designed for measuring color on metallic
and pearlescent paint finishes. The instrument incorporates a single light source and five
fixed—aspecular—viewing angles (15°, 25°, 45°, 75°, and 110°).
To ensure measurement accuracy, the MA48 also includes a two read-switch triggering
mechanism. This allows a measurement to be taken only after the spectrophotometer has
been properly positioned.
