PCE Spectrophotometer - CSM 10

PCE  Spectrophotometer - CSM 10

The PCE CSM 10 Spectrophotometer was developed for quality control, offers high accuracy, and comes with a 3.5" touch screen display. When using the device you can choose between different color spaces (CIE LAB, XYZ, Yxy, LCh, CIE LUV, HunterLAB). After measuring, the reading can be used as a reference value while other readings can be recorded as a sample and later be compared to the reference value easily.

In addition to the individual color space coordinates, the deviation between the reading is also displayed. When using the spectrophotometer, it is possible to store up to 1000 reference values and up to 15,000 samples on the device. The measured data can also be transferred to a PC via the USB interface. A special PC software is included in the package.
