The PCE-CSM 5 Spectrophotometer, designed for quality control, delivers high accuracy in color measurement. It allows users to select from various color spaces including CIE LAB, XYZ, LCh, RGB, and LUV. This device features two measurement apertures with diameters of 6 mm and 10 mm. After conducting a measurement, the obtained value can serve as a reference, against which subsequent sample readings are compared.
Additionally, the device not only displays individual color space coordinates but also shows the deviation between the readings. The Spectrophotometer PCE-CSM 5 can store up to 100 reference values and up to 20,000 sample readings. Data from the device can be transferred to a computer via its USB interface, and special PC software provided with the spectrophotometer facilitates data management and analysis.
