    PCE Instruments CSM 20 Handheld Spectrophotometer 400 to 700 nm

    # CSM 20

    • Featuring a single 8 mm aperture and including SCI and SCE specular modes for industrial color measuring applications, the PCE-CSM 20 offers a long battery life, a 4-color lamp life and an easy-to-use portable design.
    • The powerful battery allows up to 5000 measurements. The lighting used on the spectrophotometer is designed to carry out three million measurements. Camera/illumination locating for small samples.
    • The high-quality processing of the spectrophotometer is very fast. The ability to choose aperture size and light source allows the user to discriminate between colors that may look the same.
