PCE Instruments PCE-CSM 20 Spectrophotometer

Overview

The PCE-CSM 20 is a handheld spectrophotometer designed for high-quality color measurement and quality control. It features four light sources (D65, A, C, D50) and a 256-pixel CMOS image sensor for wavelength analysis from 400 to 700 nm in 10 nm increments. The colorimeter supports multiple color spaces including CIE Lab, XYZ, Yxy, LCh, CIE LUV, and Hunter LAB, making it suitable for applications requiring precise color discrimination.

With a long battery life supporting up to 5,000 measurements and illumination designed for three million measurements, the PCE-CSM 20 combines portability with professional-grade measurement capability. The device offers both SCI and SCE specular modes and features a reference memory of 2,000 colors with storage for 20,000 samples, enabling comprehensive color tracking and quality assurance.
