The colorimeter PCE-CSM 8 was developed for quality control, offers a high accuracy and comes with a 3.5″ touch screen display. When using the colorimeter, you can choose between different colour spaces (CIE LAB, XYZ, Yxy, LCh, LUV, HunterLAB) and 45/0 optics geometry. After a measurement with the colorimeter, 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.
