FAQs About  Spectrodensitometer

A visual colorimeter is a type of colorimeter that uses the human eye to compare the color depth of a sample with that of a standard solution for semi-quantitative or quantitative analysis of substances. This method is commonly used for quick, rough evaluations in industries such as petroleum, transparent liquids, varnishes, chemicals and printing, as well as for visual color grading in quality control. Its working principle is to compare the sample with a standard and provide visual color measurement results, rather than relying on electronic sensors.

Visual Colorimeters vs. Photoelectric Colorimeters

Visual colorimeters rely on human eye observation, whereas photoelectric colorimeters use sensors to deliver higher precision, complete the measurement automatically through electronic circuits, less subjective color measurement and faster results. They are generally more suitable for rapid, on-line or portable color difference measurement.

Working principle of a photoelectric colorimeter

A light source emits light at specific wavelengths, which interacts with the object surface through reflection and transmission. The light is reflected or absorbed by the sample, and the reflected light or remaining transmitted light is received by a photoelectric sensor (photocell or photodiode). The instrument converts the light intensity signal into an electrical signal, thereby measuring the LAB color values of the sample.

3nh Photoelectric Colorimeter – A Trusted Brand in the Color Measurement Industry

Featuring ultra-high precision, user-friendly interface, light positioning function, high-capacity lithium-ion battery, and multiple optional measurement angles.



Haze measurement can be distorted by scratches on the surface, dust, temperature, and light. 

The various colors can be measured by the way a surface reflects, absorbs, or transmits light at different wavelengths. These responses may be measured using instruments such as colorimeters or spectrophotometers to give numeric values in a standardized color space such as L *a*b*.

Techniques of measuring color are visual color comparison, colorimetry (with colorimeters) and spectrophotometry (measuring spectral reflectance), and image analysis. Both techniques measure the reflection or absorption of light by materials and are commonly quantified. Therefore standardized in color spaces such as CIELAB or RGB.

A benchtop spectrophotometer is not universally better—it outperforms portable units in precision and lab testing, while portable models win for on-site flexibility. Which one is better depends entirely on your testing scenarios, accuracy requirements and workflow.


Benchtop Spectrophotometer Advantages

  • Higher measurement accuracy & repeatability, excellent inter-instrument agreement

  • Supports full-spectrum analysis, more geometric optical designs

  • Larger testing aperture, compatible with curved, textured and bulk samples

  • Ideal for laboratory QC, R&D, formula matching and standard color calibration

  • Stable performance, less affected by external light and environment


Portable Spectrophotometer Advantages

  • Compact, lightweight, test anywhere anytime (production line, warehouse, on-site inspection)

  • Fast one-click measurement, no fixed power and lab space required

  • Perfect for incoming material inspection, on-line production spot check, field color comparison

  • Lower cost and easier to operate for frontline workers


Which One Should You Choose?


Choose benchtop if you need:

Lab R&D, high-precision color grading, standard sample database establishment, strict quality control for cosmetics, plastics, textiles and food.


Choose portable if you need:

On-site rapid detection, production line mobile sampling, outdoor and on-location color measurement.
