Benefits of In-Process and In-Line Color Measurements

Posted on September 27, 2021 by Ken Phillips

In-process and in-line color measurements refer to real-time color monitoring during the manufacturing process that alerts operators when colors move out of the acceptable specifications. With in-process monitoring, operators can correct their equipment before faulty products are manufactured so little to no material is wasted. In-process color measurement is essential to saving money during the […]

Seasonal Color Analysis 

Posted on September 21, 2021 by Ken Phillips

Seasonal color analysis enables fashion-conscious consumers to find clothing that’s most complementary to their features and skin tones through color psychology and color wheel analysis. Seasonal color analysis depends on color theory, which is used as a practical guide for analyzing how color works in the fashion, design and art fields. Humans have intensely studied color […]

Color in Astronomy

Posted on September 20, 2021 by Ken Phillips

Color is essential to telling planets’ and stars’ stories. By measuring the exact color of celestial bodies, scientists can learn about the age, chemical composition and temperature of these forms without traveling hundreds of thousands of miles. Spectrophotometers allow scientists to accurately and objectively measure the color of astronomical bodies no matter their distance, so […]

Measuring the Color of Stars

Posted on September 14, 2021 by Ken Phillips

In astronomy, a star’s color tells its story. Measuring the color of a star gives astronomers immense insights into its temperature, age and composition even from hundreds of thousands of miles away. By measuring stars’ wavelengths, you can determine their elemental makeup and main components. What Is Astronomical Spectrophotometry? Spectrophotometry refers to the process of measuring […]

Spectrophotometry in Forensics

Posted on September 13, 2021 by Ken Phillips

Through forensic spectrophotometry, analysts can intensely study crime scene evidence using the power of electromagnetic imaging. Spectrophotometry is the process of scientifically and objectively measuring color and radio wavelengths. It is more dependable than using human eyes, and it provides reproducible results on an easy-to-understand scale. With spectrophotometry, forensic examiners can distinguish between the chemical […]

What Is an Inter-Instrument Agreement?

Posted on September 7, 2021 by Ken Phillips

Inter-instrument agreement refers to how similar two or more spectrophotometers’ measurements are when reading the same color. A close inter-instrument agreement (IIA) signals your instruments are reliable and produce replicable results, while a poor IIA indicates your instruments are not uniform across your supply chain.  IIA has limited useability if you’re only operating one spectrophotometer, […]

What Is Photometric Range and Photometry?

Posted on September 6, 2021 by Ken Phillips

Spectrophotometers use photometric range data to provide you with valuable insights into your products and help you ensure maximum quality assurance through color. At HunterLab, we understand color means everything and is essential to maintaining your brand integrity.  Photometric range refers to the range of light waves from ultraviolet to infrared wavelengths. The photometric range […]
