The ColorFlex Sensor

The ColorFlex spectrocolorimeter is a versatile, compact color measurement instrument that can be used on products of virtually any size and in industries as diverse as paint and textiles. It is available in two different models, 45°/0° and diffuse/8° (sphere). The label on the bottom of the instrument identifies the geometry. The instrument is designed for use with the sample port facing up or forward.
