New hand-held measuring device LCRT-2005H-S for spectral transmission and haze

Transparent materials are essential in many branches of industry, such as for the glazing of buildings or vehicles. In the case of packaging, the films used should on the one hand ensure the safe packaging and storage of food and other products. On the other hand, they should also offer a view of the product. The requirements are diverse and plentiful.

For example, the protective screens of smartphone displays, laptops or tablets should offer a good view of the information displayed while at the same time reducing glare from ambient light by minimizing haze effects. With the LCRT-2005H-S , Gigahertz-Optik offers the ideal measuring device for examining these optical material properties.

On the one hand, the LCRT-2005H-S offers the possibility of carrying out spectral transmission measurements on transparent materials according to CIE 130 and DIN 5036. Compared to its predecessor LCRT-2005-S, it offers an extended spectral range from 380 nm to 780 nm (previously 425 nm to 705 nm) and a transmission measuring range from 5% to 100%. On the other hand, the LCRT-2005H-S is equipped with a light trap that enables spectral haze measurements according to ASTM D1003-13 to be carried out.

The device offers operating modes both as a mobile hand-held measuring device and as a wired remote controlled unit that communicates with a PC. A selection of mechanical setups and mounts including sample attachment are available as accessories.
