Westboro Photonics today announced the release of two new colorimeters targeted at both development and production applications. The WP214 and WP640 systems are fully integrated 2D colorimeters utilizing thermoelectrically cooled, scientific-grade CCD sensors to offer high accuracy, speed and reliability over their lifetime.
The WP214 is the first instrument of its kind in the market. The novel system design includes a standard tristimulus filter wheel as well as an integrated spectrometer which serves as the reference to correct the chromaticity values measured by the CCD imager. The result is a system with color accuracy better than any 2D colorimeter on the market and approaching that of high-end spectroradiometers. When equipped with the conoscopic lens, the WP214 offers a quick and portable solution for any display viewing angle measurement application.
Following the success of the family of imaging photometers, the WP640 was designed and engineered as an option for those interested in also gathering chromaticity information in their measurements. The WP640 colorimeter utilizes a 4MP, scientific-grade, cooled CCD in combination with the proven Photometrica® Software suite to provide a flexible and easy to use solution for any colorimetry application.
“The release of these two new imaging colorimeters gives the market another option to increase throughput without sacrificing performance or straining budgets,” commented Tim Moggridge, President at Westboro Photonics. “The WP214, in particular, is an exciting innovation since it combines the benefits of traditionally used spot spectroradiometers with the advanced analysis capabilities and large field of view associated with colorimeter systems. For many applications it can replace two instruments for less than a high performance bench top spectrometer.”
