Overview
IC-M10L Large-Area Hyperspectral Colorimeter

The IC-M10L replaces manual color inspection with a single automated scan across a 300×200 mm measurement area — capturing 347,600 data points in under one minute. Designed for textiles, automotive, coatings, plastics, and aerospace, it delivers full spectral data per pixel at 2 nm resolution, enabling color consistency analysis impossible with traditional spot colorimeters.

One scan replaces 347,600 manual measurements. The IC-M10L captures full 400–780 nm spectral data at 0.44 mm spatial resolution across a 30×20 cm area — in under one minute. Traditional spot colorimeters measure one point at a time.
Why IC-M10L
Problems We Solve
Labor Cost
Manual Inspection Bottlenecks

Manual color inspection consuming excessive staff hours and creating production bottlenecks.

→ One scan replaces 347,600 point measurements

Consistency
Batch-to-Batch Variation

Color variation causing quality complaints and material waste across production runs.

→ Digital measurement eliminates human subjectivity

Complex Surfaces
Mottled & Textured Materials

Mottled, textured, or multi-colored surfaces impossible to measure with spot colorimeters.

→ 0.44 mm pixel-level color recognition

Data Depth
Tristimulus-Only Output

Need full spectral information for analysis, not just color values.

→ Full 400–780 nm spectrum per pixel at 2 nm resolution

Is This Right for You?
Decision Framework
Answer YES to any question below → IC-M10L is your solution
1
Do you measure areas larger than 10 cm or multiple samples simultaneously?
Yes → IC-M10L RequiredNo → Continue
2
Do your samples have mottled, textured, or uneven surfaces?
Yes → IC-M10L RequiredNo → Continue
3
Do you need full spectral data (not just color values) for analysis?
Yes → IC-M10L RequiredNo → Continue
4
Is batch-to-batch consistency critical to your quality standards?
Yes → IC-M10L RequiredStandard colorimeter may suffice
If you answered YES to any question above, IC-M10L is the recommended solution.
