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. 🔍 Key Features 🟡 Large 50 mm Aperture 50 mm measurement aperture captures a wide area of the sample — especially beneficial for rough, uneven, or particulate surfaces where smaller apertures may give inconsistent readings. 📈 Spectral Reflectance Curves Provides professional spectral reflectance curves that go beyond basic tristimulus values, helping you analyze hue, saturation, brightness and subtle material characteristics. 📊 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 ΔEab, ΔEuv, ΔE94, ΔEcmc (various weighting), and ΔE*00. 🧪 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). 💻 Connectivity & Software Support Connects via USB and Bluetooth to mobile APP and PC software to support data export, report generation, and statistical analysis. 📱 Touchscreen Interface Equipped with a 7-inch IPS color touchscreen for intuitive, standalone operation without needing external devices. 📊 Technical Specifications Specification Details Illumination Geometry D/8 with Specular Component Included (SCI) Light Source Full-spectrum LED Spectral Range / Interval 400–700 nm, 10 nm Measuring Aperture 50 mm Measurement Time ~1.5 s Color Spaces CIE Lab, Luv, LCh, Yxy, CMYK, RGB, WI-98, WI-Hunter, YI-98, WI-R457, Reflectance Color Difference Formulas ΔEab, ΔEuv, ΔE94, ΔEcmc, ΔE*00 Repeatability Std. dev.
