What is a colorimeter?

A colorimeter is a direct color comparison tool, often confused with a spectrophotometer. However, a colorimeter has a more limited range of capabilities than a spectrophotometer.

What exactly is a colorimeter and how does it work?

A colorimeter is a photoelectric conversion device used to measure the reflectance of light on the surface of a sample.

The main components of a colorimeter include

• Light Source: A specific fixed light source used to illuminate the sample.

• Display: Used to read the color value of the sample directly.

• Tricolor Absorption Filter: A filter that isolates specific wavelengths of light and applies them to the sample.

Colorimeters are generally small, portable, mobile colorimeters.

However, because of the backwardness of the filter technology, CHNSpec has already eliminated this technology, and all use spectrometers instead of filters, not only more functionality: more measurement parameters, more choices of light sources, more accurate results, and the price can be as low as $60!
