Handheld colorimeter CR-10 Plus for quick and easy colour control on almost any samples and materials
The Colour Reader CR-10 PLUS is an affordable handheld colorimeter for quick and easy colour control on almost any samples and materials. Just measure the target followed by the sample to compare the colour difference in objective CIELAB colour difference values displayed on the LCD screen.

Target data is displayed in either L*a*b* or L*C*H* and colour difference to samples in ∆L*,∆a*,∆b*,∆C*,∆H*,∆E*ab.

Despite the simple operation, the CR-10 PLUS is a true colorimeter in full compliance with CIE, ISO, and DIN standards.
