What is the differences between a spectroradiometer and a colorimeter?
Although both a spectroradiometer and a colorimeter are examples of devices that measure light, the processes by which these two kinds of meters accomplish this task are extremely different and the purposes for which they are used are also very different. A device known as a spectroradiometer is one that can measure the quantity of light that is present over a certain spectrum of wavelengths. It provides an in-depth analysis of the spectrum properties of the light source, including, among other things, its spectral distribution, spectral purity, and wavelength range. Applications that require a high degree of accuracy and precision in measuring the spectrum properties of light sources are good examples of where a spectroradiometer might be put to use. These applications can be found in the fields of scientific research, product development, and quality control, to name a few. A colorimeter , on the other hand, is a tool that ascertains the color characteristics of a light source,
