PCE CSM 8 Spectrophotometer - PCE-CSM 8

PCE CSM 8 Spectrophotometer - PCE-CSM 8

The PCE CSM 8 Spectrophotometer is designed for quality control, offering high accuracy and featuring a 3.5" touchscreen display. It allows you to select from various color spaces (CIE LAB, XYZ, Yxy, LCh, LUV) and utilizes 45/0 optical geometry. After taking a measurement, the result can serve as a reference value, while

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 10,000 samples on the device. The measured data can also be transferred to a PC via the USB interface. PC software is included in the package.
