The Colorimeter proves to be a true multitasking device. It is designed to measure the color spectrum of various objects. Light consists of a broad spectrum of colors that are not always purely white, black, or blue. A light source illuminates an object, which then absorbs part of that light and reflects another one. That reflected light can be then detected by a sensor in order to determine the reflected wavelengths and thus calculate its color. Colorimeters are often applied in areas of quality control in industrial sectors. Colorimeters of the PCE-CSM series is applied especially in industries where the characteristics of colors play a big role.

Whether it is dental technology, painting industries, or the production of plastic bags, the colorimeter PCE-CSM 2 is an ideal product for quality management and thus assures the highest reliability, whenever it is important to assure a certain standard in optic quality. The colorimeter supports an ergonomic design and features user-friendly menu navigation. The colorimeter PCE-CSM 2 has a measuring aperture of 8 mm. The supported color spaces of the colorimeter PCE-CSM 2 are CIELabCh, CIEL ab, and CIEXYZ. Thus the colorimeter is designed for application in professional industries. Another advantage of the colorimeter of the PCE-CSM series is that it supports a vertical justification. This means that the whole device does not need to be placed on the object to analyze, but only the part with the sensor in it. The industrial perspective of it is that this method allows the measuring of damp objects, textiles, and even food. The colorimeter PCE-CSM 2 is therefore ideally applied for measurements of e.g. meat, bananas, or tomatoes. Due to the software "CQCS3" that is included in the delivery, the measured data can be read out on a computer or laptop for a digital overview.

The Lab color space

Here you can see the color space Lab. This color space covers all colors that are visible to the naked eye. L=100 stands for white and L=0 for black. "a+" and "a-" or "b+" and "b-" stands for the color contrasts red, green, yellow, and blue. The Colorimeter PCE-CSM 2 can be applied in various industrial fields and thus allows a precise and simple application to assure consistent quality of the products.
