Spectrocolorimeter - Handheld Color Analyzer - 400-700 nm - 9 Illuminants SCI/SCE

The Master Science Spectrocolorimeter is a handheld color spectrophotometer for precise color measurement and quality control on plastics, coatings, inks, textiles, printed goods, ceramics and fluorescent samples. A dual optical path captures SCI and SCE spectra together, with optical resolution better than 10 nm across the visible range.

Nine illuminants, two observer angles and a wide range of color spaces and indices let one instrument meet the standards used by different customers and industries.

Key Benefits

• Excellent agreement between units: ΔE*ab within 0.2 between instruments supports supplier and multi-site QC.
• Store-lighting checks: nine illuminants, including TL84 and CWF, reveal how a color shifts under retail lamps.
• Two readings in one: the Master Science Spectrocolorimeter measures SCI and SCE together in about 3.2 seconds.
• Exact positioning: camera locating and a cross stabilizer place the aperture precisely.
• Long working day: one charge covers about 6000 readings.

For more compact daily checks, compare with the Master Science portable spectrocolorimeter with camera targeting.

Common Color Control Problems and How This Instrument Helps

Problems the Master Science Spectrocolorimeter helps to solve:

• Color looks different under shop lights: nine illuminants show the shift before shipment.
• Disagreement with supplier readings: low inter-instrument error keeps values aligned.
• Gloss affecting color decisions: SCE and SCI are reported side by side.
• Small parts hard to measure: 4 or 5 mm apertures fit narrow areas.
• Slow documentation: USB transfer and PC software speed up reports.
