Use the 8 mm aperture for larger measurement areas or the 4 mm aperture when the available surface is smaller. Camera locating provides a view of the target area, while illumination locating helps align the measurement opening. An optional extended 8 mm aperture provides access to suitable concave surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD65, D50 and A illuminants allow users to evaluate color values under different reference lighting conditions. The instrument supports CIE LAB, XYZ, LCh, RGB and LUV color spaces, along with whiteness, yellowness and color fastness evaluation. Multiple color difference formulas help users select an evaluation method appropriate to their quality control procedure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAutomatic white and black calibration at startup prepares the instrument for measurement. Onboard storage holds 100 standards and 20,000 samples, supporting repeated comparisons with reference colors.
