Novo Curve small aperture adaptor

The Novo-Curve small aperture adapter converts the Aesthetix sensor into a Novo-Curve–style glossmeter for very small parts and features. When this adapter is fitted the instrument is used upside down so that small components can be placed and manipulated on top of the adapter surface. The V-shaped cutouts are designed to allow accurate positioning of small cylindrical components.
​

With this adapter, the measurement port is reduced to a hole of approximately 2-3 mm diameter, allowing precise gloss measurements on tiny areas that are difficult to measure with the standard aperture. Small parts can be manually positioned and rotated during measurement to find and characterise the exact region of interest.
​

When the Novo-Curve small aperture adapter is attached, the 0° camera path is blocked, so the 0° images and live view are not available. In this configuration the instrument can only be used for standard gloss, haze (without compensation) and DOI measurements and not for full image-based Aesthetix metrics.
