digital hazemeter

StellarNet announces a new preconfigured optical metrology system for total transmission and haze measurement. The StellarHaze System includes a compact fiber optic spectrometer, light source with integrated optical amplification and collimation lens, custom haze measurement sphere with diffuse transmission port and sample attachment clips. The sphere is mounted on a breadboard with alignment track for easy positioning. The haze meter comes complete with StellarHaze software for MS Excel that calculates transmission and haze at once while also displaying spectral curves over the 300-850nm spectral region.

The appearance of transparent materials can be tuned for their applications and can be quantified by their light scattering optical properties. The cloudiness or “haze” can be defined by the percentage of light transmission which deviates from an incident beam greater than 2.5 degrees.

Modular and Functional
The modular system can be quickly assembled for measurement or broken down and stored in a rugged instrument case. Additional accessories can be purchased for reflectance or other spectroscopy applications.

StellarHaze System can be useful for quality control and research for a variety of applications and sample types. Here are a few:

Filters and plastic sheets
Thin Films and bags
Liquids via cuvette
Diffusing plastics for lighting
Automotive glass and windows
