Product Description
The Handheld Color Spectrophotometer YR05498 is an innovative device designed to offer precise color measurement in a compact and portable form. This device is equipped with a d/8 (diffused illumination, 8-degree viewing angle) system, conforming to CIE No.15 and GB/T 3978 standards, which ensures highly accurate and consistent color evaluation. The integrating sphere size of Φ58mm facilitates a wide capture area for more comprehensive readings.
The YR05498 spectrophotometer uses combined LED sources for illumination, paired with a silicon photodiode array sensor, providing a wavelength range of 400~700nm and a wavelength pitch of 10nm. This setup ensures an accurate reflectance range of 0~200%, with a measuring aperture of Φ8mm that enables detailed color analysis. Supporting multiple color spaces including CIE LAB, XYZ, Yxy, LCh, CIE LUV, and LAB&WI&YI, this tool caters to various industry needs.
The device comes with a comprehensive set of color difference formulas such as ΔE*ab, ΔE*uv, ΔE*94, ΔE*cmc(2:1), ΔE*cmc(1:1), ΔE*cmc(l:c), CIE2000ΔE*00, and ΔE(h). It also provides other chromaticity data like Whiteness, Yellowness, and Metamerism Index. With observer angles of 2°/10°, multiple illuminants such as D65, D50, and various F-series, and a TFT 3.5-inch capacitive touch screen, this spectrophotometer makes advanced color assessment accessible and convenient.
