# Setup the Aesthetix Sensor
## Selecting the correct adaptor
The Rhopoint Aesthetix measurement setup can be modified by changing adaptors magnetically attached to the base of the sensor.

The Aesthetix sensor is supplied with Standard and Curved Surface and Small Area Adaptors.

Optional adaptors include: Non-Contact Curved Surface and Small Area Gloss adaptor, Novo-Curve Adaptor and bespoke 3-D printed adaptors.

## Standard Gloss Measurement Setup
The Aesthetix standard adaptor is used for measuring the gloss of flat surfaces with identical measurement to a conventional 60° Glossmeter.

## Curved Surface and Small Area Gloss Adaptor
This adaptor reduces the gloss measurement area to 2 x 4mm. Aesthetix Measurements made with this adaptor are compatible with Novo-Curve and Novo-Gloss Flex 60 instruments.   

## Non-Contact Measurement
Without an adaptor attached to the base of the instrument, the Aesthetix can be used in non-contact mode. 

For non-contact applications, the Aesthetix can be used with a stand or laboratory cobot.

When measuring non-contact, it is important to respect the focal distance from the bottom of the instrument to the target surface. The distance must be maintained at 10mmm +/- 0.5mmm).

## Bespoke Jigs
The Rhopoint Aesthetix can be used with 3D-printed jigs for repeatable measurement of small parts or curved surfaces.
