Benefits of Benchtop Color Measurement Devices
Color spectrophotometers are precise tools that measure color throughout production. Other types of spectrophotometers can also measure materials such as liquid, plastics, metals and more. Color quality checks occur in just about every industry for reasons such as branding and organization. What Kinds of Spectrophotometers Exist? Spectrophotometers come in multiple sizes to fit different operations. […]
Benchtop vs. Portable Spectrophotometers
Both benchtop and portable spectrophotometers have vital biopharmaceutical applications. These devices facilitate manufacturing color quality testing and many other industrial processes. Depending on your industry and operational needs, you may need to use each device for different field sites. You’ll need to consider whether convenience or repeatability is your top priority for specific applications. If […]
Single Beam vs. Double Beam Spectrophotometer
Spectrophotometers measure light’s wavelength distribution by providing the percentage of reflectance from an object, detecting the color of the sample. There are two types of beam spectrophotometers — single beam spectrophotometers and double beam spectrophotometers. These instruments have several key differences you should keep in mind when deciding which is best for your laboratory. Single […]
Application of Double Beam Spectrophotometer
Spectrophotometers measure light through wavelength distribution, and scientists use these instruments to measure different types of light, including visible and near-ultraviolet. Scientists wanted to obtain these measurements at a higher speed and resolution, and the double beam spectrophotometer meets this need. Understanding Double Beam Spectrophotometers A double beam spectrophotometer is an instrument that determines the […]
What Is CIELAB Color Space?
The human eye can see millions of colors. However, it won’t always distinguish colors from one another accurately. You may perceive two slightly different colors as the same or see differences in objects of identical color depending on your viewing angle and lighting. This creates challenges when communicating about color. To reproduce an exact desired […]
