A portable spectrophotometric color illuminance meter for photography purposes. It has features for photography applications and can measure the latest color rendering indices such as CRI, TLCI, and SSI!
The C-800 is a handheld, portable spectroscopic color meter (spectral color illuminance meter) that can be taken to the field. It is capable of measuring the spectra of various light sources, including flash and LED lights, and features measurement items and display modes suitable for photography applications. The product design focuses on user-friendliness, with a rotating light-receiving mechanism, a dark correction mechanism without a cap, and operation via a large 4.3-inch touch panel. ● Complies with JIS General Type A Class Illuminance Meter ● Capable of measuring "illuminance," "color temperature," "spectrum," etc. ● Supports display of "chromaticity (xy, Hue, Saturation)" ● The color rendering evaluation mode supports not only the conventional CRI but also the latest standards (CRI, TM-30-18, TLCI/TLMF, SSI) ● Equipped with measurement items and display modes suitable for photography applications, such as filter correction and multi-light comparison mode ● Issuance of calibration certificates (calibration certificates, inspection reports, traceability diagrams) is possible ● Made in Japan 【Free Demo Unit Rental】 If you are interested, we also offer the option to rent a demo unit, so please feel free to contact us.

Detailed information
-
The C-800 can display chromaticity (xy), Hue, and Saturation in text mode.
-
SSI is a color rendering index developed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which displays comparisons with CIE standard light sources (such as tungsten and daylight D55) or memorized light sources in indices and graphs. The C-800 was the first color meter in the world to incorporate this feature.
-
TLCI is a color rendering index that incorporates the characteristics of the camera and is based on the creation of television images. It also has the capability to display a comparison with a reference light source (memory value) called TLMF in index form.
-
TM-30 displays Rf (fidelity) and Rg (gamut) as indices based on 99 reference colors and the characteristics of the human eye. The values are presented in numerical form and as color vector graphics.
-
The CRI displays the standard color rendering index with Ra and R1-R15. The C-800 also features a comparison mode for CRI.
-
【PC Software Utility】 The included PC software utility has the following features. (Compatible with Windows/Mac OS) - Aircraft information confirmation - Main unit settings (toolbox, custom function changes, preset data editing, hardware settings, initialization) - Reading and saving memory data - Saving measurement result graph data (Jpeg, BMP, PNG format files) and text data - Main unit firmware update

Company information
The inline viscometer was awarded the 22nd Invention Award (1997) for its excellent performance and innovative ideas. Additionally, the accelerometer detects and records vibrations that occur during the transportation of goods, contributing to the prevention of product damage through the review of work improvements. We have developed a new viscoelastic meter as a culmination of the technology of inline viscometers and densitometers, which were developed as instruments for measuring the physical properties of liquids. Like the viscometer, it uses piezoelectric sensors to measure the viscosity, temperature, elasticity, and phase angle of various liquids in real-time inline. Focusing on piezoelectric sensor technology, we will continue to advance our development and research, aiming to become a comprehensive scientific measurement instrument manufacturer. With a wide range of products, solid technology, and prompt responses, we will work together as a company to further serve you all. We appreciate your continued support.
