Product overview

The LC 100 is a compact handheld imaging spectrocolorimeter for rapid comparison of samples against user-defined standards. With the SV 100 viewing stand, it also supports benchtop measurement of transparent, translucent and opaque samples in optical cells.

Key features

  • 45°/0° image-capture geometry uses eight visible illuminations and one UV LED.
  • Measurement takes about 1.8 seconds with typical short-term repeatability of 0.10 ΔE94 on white at D65/10°.
  • Stores 30 standards and 350 sample results and creates PDF or Excel conformance reports.
  • Preview of the measurement area supports accurate positioning; samples can be tagged by keyboard or voice recorder.
