Overview
The MAMBO is a state-of-the-art, hand-held imaging device specifically engineered for rapid and efficient color measurement on hair swatches and subjects. By utilizing a diffusive sphere geometry paired with stable white LED illumination, the MAMBO minimizes surface reflection on hair fibers, allowing the sensor to capture the true, absolute hair color.
Designed for cosmetic testing laboratories, this portable instrument guarantees that all color measurements are acquired under highly repeatable, standardized conditions. With its ability to instantly calculate factory-calibrated and RGB values, the MAMBO provides an optimal, turn-key solution for evaluating dye performance, color fading, and precise color matching.
Key features
- Calibrated Color Measurements: Generates precise values using factory-calibrated reference tiles for absolute color accuracy.
Advanced Image Analysis Software: The included proprietary MAMBO software directly processes high-resolution images to deliver comprehensive data, including:
Color Measurement & Comparison: Calculate the exact color difference () between test swatches and reference measurements to determine noticeable color shifts.
Color Retention Studies: Conduct guided, longitudinal studies to measure color fading across multiple treatment events, such as tracking color degradation over consecutive wash cycles.
Database Comparison: Automatically cross-reference acquired values against customized cosmetic color databases to instantly identify the closest product match.
Standardized Swatch Support Attachment: Includes a custom sliding track accessory that securely holds hair swatches, allowing users to efficiently scan the root, middle, and tip of the hair with perfect reproducibility.
High-Resolution Imaging: Features a 12-bit color USB 3.0 camera that captures 1,500 x 1,500 pixel images across a targeted 12.56 mm x 12.56 mm region of interest.
Complete Turn-Key System: Supplied as a fully operational suite including the MAMBO hardware, calibration accessories, and a dedicated computer pre-loaded with the analytical software suite.
