    PCE Instruments CSM 8 Spectrophotometer 400 to 700 nm

    # CSM 8

    • After a measurement with the spectrophotometer, 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 10,000 samples on the device.
    • The spectrophotometer PCE-CSM 8 was developed for quality control, offers high accuracy, and comes with a 3.5″ touch screen display.
    • When using the spectrophotometer, you can choose between different color spaces (CIE LAB, XYZ, Yxy, LCh, LUV) and 45/0 optics geometry.
