[. . . ] Skin Analysis Software NEW CM-SA For quantitative evaluation & analysis of skin color and pigmentation Simultaneous Measurement of Skin Color and Melanin Index Used in combination with a Konica Minolta spectrophotometer, the CM-SA enables highly accurate measurement of skin color simultaneously with a numerical display of the Melanin Index, Hb (Hemoglobin) Index, and Hb SO2 (Hemoglobin oxygen saturation) Index (%). For applications in the R&D divisions of cosmetic, functional food, and pharmaceutical companies developing products with "skinlightening" effects, commissioned clinical testing organizations, and research institutes for dermatology, plastic surgery, etc. Realizing Simultaneous Measurement of Skin Color and Melanin Index! In the field of skin research and development, there is an increasing demand to measure the color and pigmentation of skin as it provides valuable information on a number of factors. For example, where cosmetics are concerned companies are aiming to make products that more closely match or complement the skin tone of clients. [. . . ] (Useful for consecutive measurements on a number of examinees) Example When there are Examinees 1, 2, and 3, and the number of measurements is set to 3, the group is automatically changed to the next one every three measurements, and the data is linked to the relevant group (examinee). --------- After three measurements are completed, the group is automatically switched to the next group to store the data for the fourth measurement. Output of measured data in CSV text format The measurement results can be output in CSV text format to be utilized for further analysis or data management using Excel® or other spreadsheet applications. <Major specifications of CM-SA> Skin data display Colorimetric value display Graph display Data handling Melanin Index Hb Index [Total hemoglobin (oxidized + reduced) index] Hb SO2 Index (%) [Hemoglobin oxygen saturation index (%)] L*, a*, b*, Munsell value (Hue, Value, Chroma)*1 Hue­Value Graph, Hb Index­Melanin Index Graph Saving/reading data in CM-SA original format Saving data in text (CSV) format [Melanin Index, Hb Index, Hb SO2 Index (%), L*, a*, b*, Munsell value (Hue, Value, Chroma), Spectral reflectance (400-700 nm)*2] *1 Munsell data are calculated for 2° observer and Standard Illuminant C. *2 The spectral reflectance data that are output are the reflectance obtained in SCI (specular component included) mode. <PC operating environment> OS CPU Memory Hard disk Display Other Windows® Vista Business SP1(32-bit), Windows® XP Professional SP2, Windows® 2000 Professional SP4 Pentium® III 600 MHz or equivalent (recommended) 128 MB or more (256 MB or more is recommended) 100 MB or more free disk space is required.
