Canon RA-532H, Surface Reflectance Analyzer (goniophotometer), is a compact, portable device capable of measuring 4 surface appearance conditions in a single pass: Gloss, Haze, Image Clarity (IC), and BRDF (Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function). Additionally, Canon has released its own new parameter, “Scattering” parameter, overcoming the shortage of both IC and DOI (Distinctiveness of Image) when evaluating matte and textured surfaces as well as orange peel surface.

It employs a unique optical architecture along with Canon proprietary calculation algorithm to output four surface quantifying parameters that comply with applicable industry standard test and measurement methods: Gloss - ISO 2813, ASTM D523, JIS Z8741, DIN 67530; Haze - ISO 13803, ASTM E430; Image Clarity - JIS K7374; BRDF – one and two dimensions.

The compact unit houses high resolution color LCD screen, rechargeable internal Lithium Ion battery, wired (USB), and wireless (Bluetooth) interface. Added features, unique to Canon, are simultaneous measurement in 3 different lighting angles of 20, 60, and 85 degrees and a “Live View” function that allows positioning the RA-532H to exact measurement location with ease.

Bundled software comes complete with data extraction from RA-532H, full data analysis (including 1D and 2D color BRDF profiles), data import/export, remote control of RA-532H, and automated (timed) measurements.
