TIME TCS-520 Spectrophotometer
Product Description
The TIME TCS-520 has a powerful performance configuration which makes professional colour measurement simple and effective. The unit boasts excellent inter-instrument processing, ensuring consistency of the measurement data between multiple devices. The TCS-520 can seamlessly transfer data via Bluetooth, allowing you to use the software with your Android or IOS devices.
The multi-function calibration base keeps the white tile protected when not in use, and when the instrument is placed on the base, it will be automatically charged and calibrated. The TIME TCS-520 greatly expands the application boundaries of colour spectrophotometers for a more user-friendly experience.
