Semi-Automated Dual Angle Reflectance Measurement Systems

  • Product No:GS-191SA-1045
  • Manufacturer:Gamma Scientific

Gamma Scientific provides a unique, high performance option for reflectance and transmission testing. These systems capture complete spectral and colorimetric properties of thin film coatings with scan times typically less than one second.


Multi-layer film thickness and sample flatness can also be monitored in parallel.


Reflectance and Transmission test systems from Gamma Scientific are available in several configurations. Depending on the sample type and desired measurement result, a variety of system configurations are available for testing either polished (specular) or rough (diffuse) samples. A production selection guide is included in this brochure to help in configuring the best system for your needs.


These systems are ideal for manufacturers who need to obtain fast and accurate measurements of flat panel display glass, anti-reflection coating inspection, photovoltaic (solar cell) coatings, optical filters, lens coatings, paint samples, diffuse plastics and more.


Regardless of the sample, Gamma Scientific offers a solution for your reflectance or transmission measurement needs.


  • Isolated first surface measurement of thin glass substrates >500 μm thick

  • Complete spectral analysis

  • Test coating uniformity and colorimetric analysis

  • Full cycle testing for R&D or production
