The Worlds First Imaging Transmission Meter Measures Optical Appearance Correlated To Human Vision

Rhopoint ID (Illumination Diffusion) Transmission Appearance Meter is designed and built in response to an industry call to find an improved method for characterizing the transmission characteristics of transparent materials. It uses Optical measurement of transparent materials that correlates to human perception.

The Rhopoint ID is an imaging transmission appearance meter that is used to measure the transmission properties of transparent materials, such as glass, films, and plastics. It provides a quantitative measurement of the appearance of the material, including Clarity, Sharpness, Waviness, Haze, Anisotropic sharpness (only available with Rhopoint ID-L version), Distance Dependent Haze and Visible Transmittance.

The cloudy, “hazy” appearance of transparent materials is an important attribute that determines their suitability for applications. For example, packaging materials are typically required to be maximally transparent in order to reproduce the vivid colors and finer details of the product, while for cosmetics a high opacity may be desired. The conventional methods for quantifying the appearance of transparent materials typically employ a dedicated “haze-meter” instrument configured to quantify the amount of light scattered over a certain range of angles from the direction of the incident beam.

The Rhopoint ID uses a high-resolution digital camera to capture images of the sample as it is illuminated with a controlled light source. The images are analyzed using proprietary software to provide quantitative measurements of the appearance and transmission properties of the material.

The Rhopoint ID is used in a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, and consumer products, to measure the appearance and transmission properties of materials and ensure that they meet the desired specifications. It provides a fast, accurate, and reliable way to measure the appearance and transmission properties of transparent materials, helping manufacturers to optimize their processes and improve product quality.
