Description

Insize Colorimeter Basic Type with 3.5 inch IPS display and Capacity Touch Panel, 5700-LS35 is a fundamental instrument used in color measurement and analysis to quantitatively assess the color of samples based on their light absorption characteristics. It is widely used in industries such as food, textiles, cosmetics, and paint manufacturing, as well as in research and quality control applications. Key features and functions of a basic colorimeter include: Light Source: Colorimeters typically use a light source, such as an LED or tungsten lamp, to illuminate the sample. The light source emits specific wavelengths of light, often in the visible spectrum. Sample Chamber: The colorimeter has a sample chamber or cuvette where the sample is placed. The sample absorbs some wavelengths of light while allowing others to pass through. Photodetector: A photodetector, such as a photodiode or phototransistor, measures the intensity of light that exits the sample chamber after passing through the sample. The detector generates an electrical signal proportional to the amount of light absorbed by the sample. Filter or Monochromator: To measure specific wavelengths of light, colorimeters may include filters or monochromators that allow only the desired wavelengths to reach the photodetector. Display and Readout: The colorimeter typically features a digital or analog display that provides color measurement results in various color scales or units, such as CIE Lab* or RGB. Calibration: Calibration is essential to ensure the accuracy of color measurements. Colorimeters are calibrated using standard reference samples with known color values. Basic colorimeters are used in a wide range of applications, including: Food Industry: In food production and quality control, colorimeters assess the color of food products to ensure consistency and quality. This is crucial for products like fruits, vegetables, meat, and beverages.
