The LS177 Spectrocolorimeter is a benchtop spectral color measurement instrument with a 50 mm large measuring aperture, designed for accurate color evaluation, spectral reflectance analysis, and color difference comparison of non-transparent materials such as powders, masterbatches, plastics, textiles, painted surfaces, food products, and more.
π Key Features
π‘ Large 50 mm Aperture
-
50 mm measurement aperture captures a wide area of the sample β especially beneficial for rough, uneven, or particulate surfaces where smaller apertures may give inconsistent readings.
π Spectral Reflectance Curves
-
Provides professional spectral reflectance curves that go beyond basic tristimulus values, helping you analyze hue, saturation, brightness and subtle material characteristics.
π Rich Color Data & Color Spaces
-
Supports multiple color spaces:
-
CIE Lab, Luv, LCh, Yxy
-
CMYK, RGB
-
Whiteness and yellowness indices like WI-98, WI-Hunter, YI-98, WI-R457
-
Spectral reflectance data
-
-
Offers a full set of color difference formulas including ΞEab, ΞEuv, ΞE94, ΞEcmc (various weighting), and ΞE*00.
π§ͺ Robust QC & Comparison Tools
-
Built-in quality control (QC) function allows you to set color difference thresholds and automatically judges pass/fail results.
-
Electronic color charts are included internally for quick color matching (typically ~90% match accuracy).
π» Connectivity & Software Support
-
Connects via USB and Bluetooth to mobile APP and PC software to support data export, report generation, and statistical analysis.
π± Touchscreen Interface
-
Equipped with a 7-inch IPS color touchscreen for intuitive, standalone operation without needing external devices.
