An auto-tracking spectrophotometer has a moveable look-ahead sensor for scanning at least a portion of a color matrix. The look-ahead sensor finds a portion of the color matrix for measurement by an optical system. The optical system for measuring the color matrix is then guided using the information provided by the look-ahead sensor.

Auto-tracking spectrophotometer

A method for adjusting a color measurement of a secondary color measurement instrument. The method includes generating a profile for the secondary color measurement instrument based on color measurements of a master color measurement instrument, and applying the profile to adjust the color measurement of the secondary color measurement instrument.

Systems and methods for profiling and synchronizing a fleet of color measurement instruments

A color measurement instrument capable of measuring both the nonpolarized spectral response and the polarized spectral response of a sample on a single reading. The instrument includes a source of polarized light to illuminate the sample, and a detector for measuring the light reflected by the sample. A rotatable filter wheel is located between the sample and the detector. Nonpolarizing bandpass filters and polarizing bandpass filters are mounted in the wheel in a circular configuration. A drive mechanism rotates the wheel to automatically sequentially align each of the nonpolarizing filters and the polarizing filters with the detector, enabling the instrument to sample both nonpolarized data and polarized data on a single reading.
