A2 Introduction
spectro-color
®
is a colorimeter operating on the spectral method described in DIN 5033 using
the d/8° circular viewing geometry, i.e. the sample is illuminated with polychromatic light with
the optical unit observing the reflected light from a 8° position towards the sample surface.
spectro-color ® is a genuine grating colorimeter measuring the visible spectral range (400nm
to 700nm) at intervals of 10nm. A special reference beam system ensures highly reproducible
measurings. All measured values are saved and displayed digitally. A variety of international
colorimetric standards can be selected at the instrument. The
results can be printed via optional printer or transmitted to a PC
via interface. An optional PC-software is available to provide
single measuring values, entire set-off measurements or
statistical evaluations in listings or telling graphical displays. All
values can be calculated for 2° and 10°-standard observers
under several illuminants. For optional accessories see chapter
