The CM-5 is a compact, top-port spectrophotometer for reflectance and transmittance measurements of solids, liquids, pastes, and powders. It features automatic white calibration, a 5.7-inch color LCD, and a pulsed xenon lamp with a 360-740 nm wavelength range. Reflectance measurements use interchangeable masks: LAV (Ø30 mm), MAV (Ø8 mm), and SAV (Ø3 mm). Transmittance measurements accommodate samples up to 60 mm thick. It complies with CIE No. 15 (2004), ISO 7724/1, ASTM E 1164, DIN 5033 Teil 7, and JIS Z 8722. The instrument weighs 5.8 kg and measures 385 × 192 × 261 mm with the cover closed. It operates on AC 100-240 V and includes USB 1.1 and RS-232C interfaces. Repeatability is within ΔE*ab 0.04 for chromaticity values and 0.1% for spectral reflectance.
An advanced all-in-one system, the CM-5 Spectrophotometer is a bench-top measurement instrument designed to evaluate the color and appearance of opaque, transparent, and translucent samples. Its high precision and advanced capabilities allow users to effectively analyze, formulate, and control the color and appearance of solids, liquids, pastes, powders, pills, and granules in a more comprehensive, streamlined process. This makes the CM-5 ideal for color analysis within R&D and laboratory environments.
Used as a standalone instrument, the CM-5 is also compatible with SpectraMagic NX software to record measurements and provide a more comprehensive color analysis, as well as Colibri software to formulate color recipes for various applications.
