The CM5 measures a variety of samples with different material characteristics such as liquids, powders, pastes, and granules, as well as the haze of transparent films and glass. The transmittance chamber can hold large sheets up to 60mm thick! A variety of functions & accessories set this innovative benchtop spectrophotometer apart. See Chapter markers below:<\/p>\n

With the versatile CM5, you can measure in reflectance or transmittance.<\/p>\n

2:20 – Reflectance measurement in Petri Dish mode<\/p>\n

2:57 – Transmittance measurement in Liquid mode<\/p>\n

3:22 – Easily calculate Average measurements for textured samples.<\/p>\n

3:42 – Create target values for color difference measurements.<\/p>\n

3:56 – Calculate haze though powerful SpectraMagic\u2122 NX2 software.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7537,"template":"","learning_center_categories":[237],"class_list":["post-7357","youtube","type-youtube","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","learning_center_categories-color-appearance-measurement"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\r\nHow does a spectrophotometer work?
