TBX Series-TBX 1000 & TBX 2000

The TBX1000™ Transmission Densitometer measures ISO Visual diffuse Optical Density (OD) to 6.60D.  This wide measuring range allows evaluation of many types of film, laminates, and substrates.  The unit comes with a 2.00D calibration standard but optional valued calibration standards may be purchased.  The TBX1500™ also calculates positive and negative dot areas while the TBX2000™ measures percent opacity and transmission.  The data can be uploaded to spreadsheets via its USB port (An optional program needs to be purchased).  The TBX™ can show deviations from a stored reference value for all functions.
