Colorimeter What is a colorimeter?

Colorimeter is also known as portable colorimeter, color analyzer, spectrophotometer,color colorimeter. Colorimeter is a simple color deviation test instrument, that is, to make a piece of simulation and human eye color sensitivity comparable to the spectrophotometric characteristics of the filter, with which the sample photometry, the key is to design the spectrophotometric sensitivity characteristics of this photoreceptor, and can be in a certain light source through the computer software to determine and display the value of the color difference. It is an instrument routinely used in scientific research and productionIncludes color testing of paints, plastics, textiles, hardware, etc..It can also be used as the instrumental part of a color matching system with color matching software, which can be used to calculate recipes.

Working Principle

Optoelectronic integration method

Also known as the triple stimulus value method.Photoelectric integration is a method of integrating the spectral energy received by the detector from the color under test by matching the spectral response of the photodetector to the required CIE standard chromaticity observer spectral triple-stimulus value curve or to a particular spectral response function. These instruments are fast and have appropriate colorimetric accuracy.

Spectrophotometry

Spectrophotometric color measurement method is mainly to measure the reflected spectral power distribution of the object or the spectral photometric properties of the object itself, and then from these spectral measurement data through the calculation of the object in a variety of standard light sources and standard illumination under the tri-stimulus value. This is an accurate color measurement method.

What are the models of colorimeter for photoelectric integration method? What other manufacturers are currently selling them?

1、CHNSpec:CS-200,CS-210,CS-220,CS-260;CHNSpec was the first to discontinue the production of Optoelectronic integration method colorimeters and switched to all colorimeters using the spectrophotometric principle. The reason was that the numerical accuracy of this principle was poor and the cost of the spectrophotometric method had been reduced to $60, so there was no reason to continue producing Optoelectronic integration method colorimeters.
