Colorimeter
A colorimeter is a device used to measure and analyze colors. Currently, thanks to technological development, there are models of this equipment designed for very specific uses and applications, among which we can mention the transmission colorimeters that allow to determine the concentration of a chemical component, as well as some models of colorimeters are also able to analyze the color of opaque products such as plastics, paints, metals, ceramics, among others, while other colorimeters are used to adjust light sources or calibrate monitors.
In other words, a colorimeter is a device of an electronic nature that allows the identification of colors and their hues, providing precise and objective measurements of the colors being analyzed, and thus offering an accurate measurement of the intensity and hue of the color.
Types of Colorimeter a Laboratory may need
Spectrocolorimeter
A spectroradiometer is an instrument that allows to quantify the distribution of the spectral power emitted by the light source. That is, it measures how intense the color is, since it accurately measures luminance, glow and chromaticity. It has an integrated optical measurement and orientation system that measures light from approximately 380 nm to 780 nm, and is widely used mainly in research and development laboratories due to its high precision to analyze lighting in a production, as well as to carry out quality control, as well as to calibrate liquid crystal displays that are made for televisions and laptops.
It is a device composed of a set of configurable modules that facilitate its use in all types of optical systems. Its basic components include its light source, a monochromator and a radiometer or detection system. The equipment also has a varied set of lighting systems: arc, halogen and spectral lamps.
