Product Description
The LCS IV is a highly precise color instrument which spectrally
measures all color shades of optically clear, transparent liquids
using the dual beam principle. Besides the conventional visual
color numbers (Gardner, Iodine, Hazen (APHA) etc.) the LCS IV
can also measure opponent color systems such as CIELab, CIELCh
and Hunter Lab under the conditions of illuminant A, C, D65 and
2 10 Standard Observer.
