ColorTector Alpha: Portable Spectrophotometric Color Measurement Device
ColorTector Alpha
The color measuring device ColorTector Alpha is an easy-to-use measuring device that measures the color difference between two samples. It uses modern and precise micro-system technology that utilizes the spectral method. A defined light source is used to illuminate the sample or pattern. The light reflected from the surface is measured spectrally. The device can be used for all color measurements (except self-luminous colors) and provides accurate and precise measurement results in the Lab color space: ∆E, ∆L, ∆a, ∆b.
