PCE Instruments PCE-CSM 4 Colorimeter

Overview

The PCE-CSM 4 is a handheld spectrophotometer designed for professional color measurement and quality control applications. It features a large 20 mm measuring aperture with 45 degrees/0 geometry, making it ideal for measuring larger surfaces and diverse materials. The device uses a D65 LED light source and a silicon photoelectric diode sensor to deliver accurate color analysis across multiple color spaces including CIEL*a*b*C*h, CIEL*a*b*, and CIEXYZ.

With an ergonomic design and user-friendly menu navigation, the PCE-CSM 4 supports vertical measurement positioning, allowing measurements of damp objects, textiles, and food items without placing the entire device on the surface. The included CQCS3 software enables detailed data analysis and digital record-keeping for comprehensive quality assurance across industrial applications.
