colorimeter
Hue analysis device
A colorimeter is an instrument that measures color intensity or concentration by analyzing how much light a sample absorbs at specific wavelengths.
In chemistry and biology, colorimeters determine substance concentrations in solutions: The lab used a colorimeter to measure protein levels.
In photography and printing, colorimeters calibrate monitors and ensure accurate color reproduction across devices.
