Lambda 1050 performs across UV/vis/NIR
range
With its unique three-detector design, the Lambda 1050 has a full scanning range from 175-3300 nanometres, and an InGaAs detector expands this in the 800-2600 range for measurement in the NIR
PerkinElmer Life and Analytical Sciences has announced the launch of a new spectrophotometer capable of testing a significantly expanded range of advanced materials, including highly reflective and anti-reflective coatings, all types of glass from clear to highly absorbing safety glass, and all types of optical filters The Lambda 1050 debuted at Spie Photonics West, in San Jose, USA
