- Options allowing several computer interface configurations
- Fully supported and serviced by qualified personnel
- Vacuum and mechanical sample holder
- Simple calibration and operation allowing for a wide range of users
- Conforms to ASTM D-1746 "Transparencey of Plastic Sheeting"
- Zebedee® two-year warranty
Description
Clarity refers to the optical distinctness with which an object can be seen when viewed through a film. In the manufacture of sheeting or film, the quantitative assessment of clarity is just as important as that of haze
Clarity depends upon the linearity of the passage of light rays through the material. Small deflections of the light, caused by scattering centers of the material, bring about a deterioration of the image. These deflections are much smaller than those registered in haze measurements. While haze measurements depend upon wideangle scattering, clarity is determined by small-angle scattering. Wide and small angle scattering are not directly related to each other. By this, we mean that haze measurements cannot provide information about the clarity of the specimen and vice versa.
Construction
The Zebedee® CL-100 light bench and optical supporting structures are fabricated from an excellent grade of aluminum. The custom optical components are manufactured under the strictest conditions. The electronic assemblies are chosen especially for straightforward design and dependability. All wiring connections are made at numbered terminal strips in accordance with NEC. The heavy gauge steel exterior cover offers an attractive, but tough, satin-black, washable finish.
