Solar reflectance and thermal emittance measurements

The 410-Vis-IR joins the ET100 and 410-Solar measurement heads in a single package for measuring solar reflectance/absorptance and thermal emittance. The ET100 measurement head collects directional reflectance from 1.5 to 21 μm to determine directional and total hemispherical emissivity. The 410-Solar measures reflectance at near-normal incidence from 335-2500nm. Easily switch between reflectance and emittance data collection with a single handle for data display and measurement controls.

Complete spectral range

Reflectance, absorptance and
emittance from 350 nm – 21 μm.

ASTM Compliant

Compliant with ASTM E903, E408,
C1549 & E1980.

No waiting

90 sec warm up, no equilibration
between measurements.

Easy to use

Simply press port against sample and pull trigger.

Fast Calibration

One minute calibration at start of measurement session

Room temperature samples

Calculate emissivity without heating sample.

410-Vis-IR Applications

Evaluation of solar power mirrors
Characterizing roofing and construction materials
Radiative heat transfer
Reflectance target (standard verification)
A/E for space hardware
Observatory telescope mirrors
Wafer fab hardware emissivity
Surface evaluation of electroplated materials

Easy to Use Onboard Software Interface

The 410-VIS-IR touchscreen interface provides guided calibration, sample identification, and measurement data display.
