ID TRANSMISSION APPEARANCE METER
The Worlds First Imaging Transmission Meter Measures Optical Appearance Correlated To Human Vision
The Rhopoint ID is an advanced camera-based imaging transmission meter used to quantify the transparency, optical appearance, and see-through quality of transparent materials. Unlike conventional haze meters that calculate indirect light scatter over fixed arbitrary angles, the Rhopoint ID uses digital image analysis to mirror how the human eye perceives visual detail and contrast through a material.
Key Measurement Capabilities & Parameters
- Illumination Diffusion (ID) & Sharpness: Quantifies the loss of fine visual detail and contrast through materials, accounting for directional effects (e.g., vertical vs. horizontal processing lines in extrusion).
- Contact & Non-Contact (Distance-Dependent Haze): Evaluates appearance both when the material touches an object and across air gaps (up to 40 mm). This is crucial for packaging, where film clarity changes depending on how close it sits to the product.
- Comprehensive Metrics: Captures Haze (conforming to ASTM D1003), Visible Transmittance, Clarity, Sharpness, and Waviness in a single 2-second capture.
- Versatile Sample Handling: Ideal for plastic films, display materials, architectural glass, PET bottles, sheets, liquids, and gels.
- International Compliance: ISO 2813 and ASTM D523
- Authorized Distributor in Malaysia: DS Technology & Services Sdn Bhd
