Description
The UV-Vis Spectrometer is an analytical instrument used to measure the interaction of light with materials across the ultraviolet and visible regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is commonly employed in spectroscopic analysis to identify and characterize substances by evaluating their optical properties. The instrument determines how a sample transmits, absorbs, or reflects light as a function of wavelength.
Capabilities
- Wavelength range – 190 nm to 1100 nm (effective operating range: 190–900 nm)
- Spectral resolution – 0.1 nm for high-precision measurements
- Beam dimensions – 12 mm beam height and 1 mm beam width for controlled sample illumination
- Cuvette compatibility – Supports 12.5 mm × 12.5 mm × 36 mm cuvettes for liquid samples
- Reflection stage options – Configurable with 5 mm or 15 mm windows for reflectance measurements
- Transmission stage – Compatible with standard glass slides for solid sample analysis
