The 508 PV from CRAIC Technologies, Inc. is a UV-Vis-NIR Microscope Spectrophotometer that has a spectral range of 250 nm - 2100 nm. This device adds spectroscopy and digital color imaging up to 6 megapixels to an external optical microscope or probe station. It can be used to upgrade an older microspectrometer with cutting-edge optics, electronics, and software. This spectrophotometer has a manual or fully automated operation and is permanently calibrated.
The 508 PV uses CRAIC&rsquos LightbladesTM spectrophotometer technology and features LambdafireTM spectroscopy, imaging control & analysis software with touchscreen control. This spectrophotometer can acquire high-quality spectra of even sub-micron samples rapidly, and non-destructively. It can be attached to an open photoport that enables the collection of transmission, reflectance, polarization, or even fluorescence & luminescence spectra of microscopic samples with a properly equipped microscope.
The 508 PV has an inbuilt thermoelectric cooler to improve signal-to-noise ratio and long-term stability. It combines hardware and software for automated spectral analysis and 5D mapping of samples with microscopic spatial resolution. This spectrophotometer is ideal for colorimetry of LCD & OLED displays, vitrinite reflectance of coal, coke & petroleum source rock, adding spectroscopy to a microscope, upgrading an older microspectrophotometer, adding thin film thickness measurements to a probe station, and biotechnology research applications.
