Introduction to Your LabScan XE System
Notice: Use of this equipment in a manner not specified by the manufacturer may
impair the protection afforded by the equipment.
The LabScan XE is a full-scanning spectrocolorimeter with a wavelength range from 400 to 700
nanometers (nm). It is designed for use with the sample port facing up or forward. It can also be used
port-down with an optional stand.
The sample is illuminated by a xenon flash lamp and reflected light is collected by a 15-station fiber
optic ring. For maximum stability, the instrument is automatically standardized to an internal reference
tile whenever measurements are made. The picture below shows the instrument in the port-up
configuration.

Indicator Lights
The LabScan XE’s indicator light feature lets you know what mode of standardization is currently in

progress or a motor is in motion.
