High Precision Tristimulus Colorimeter SSL LC 800-400x
Applications: Illuminance, flicker, effective intensity, CCT, CIE1931
SSL LC 800-400x tristimulus colorimeter comprises LC 800.4 4-channel photocurrent meter and CH400x measuring head. x denotes two variants of input optics.
It is a good choice for illuminance measuring application in wide dynamic range. Suitable e.g. for goniophotometer, retroreflection or spatial light distribution measurements where low light levels are measured.
Advantages of new version for
multichannel tristimulus colorimeter
Common input optics
Wider dynamic range of 9 decades
4-channels for separation of X channel to Xred and Xblue (LC-800.4 version)
Larger bandwidth at smaller photocurrents
Improved sampling rate
On-the-fly measurement compatible
