The AELAB ColorMeter SE / Pro / MAX series offers advanced portable color measurement with spectral precision and digital connectivity. Designed for both research laboratories and industrial color control, these instruments utilize D/8 geometry and SCI configuration to deliver consistent and highly accurate reflectance data across multiple substrates.
The ColorMeter SE, Pro, and MAX models feature a compact cylindrical design with an IPS full color display (135×240 resolution, 1.14 inches). The instrument body is engineered for handheld stability, while the integrated full-wavelength balanced LED light source ensures repeatable illumination for every test. The 8 mm aperture guarantees uniform optical capture across all surfaces.
Each model applies D/8 diffused illumination with 8° viewing geometry and SCI (specular component included). The built-in spectral sensor quantifies reflectance over the 400–700 nm range with 10 nm intervals (Pro/MAX). Colorimetric parameters such as CIE-Lab, ΔE, Hunter Lab, RGB, CMYK, and multiple whiteness and yellowness indices are automatically computed. Auto-calibration maintains consistency, while results can be displayed directly or uploaded to the cloud database.
The AELAB ColorMeter series connects via USB and Bluetooth to mobile or PC applications, enabling direct measurement display, color comparison, and cloud database synchronization. The integrated software supports Android, iOS, and Windows platforms (Windows not supported for SE model). Data can be stored, compared, and exported in real-time for QA or R&D documentation.
