Product spotlight

Spectrophotometer

The Lambda 1050 spectrophotometer from PerkinElmer Life and Analytical Sciences Inc. of Waltham, Mass., measures light transmission, reflectance of material and amount of light absorbed. Providing measurements from the deep ultraviolet to near infrared, the spectrophotometer tests a range of materials including glass substrates, highly reflective and anti-reflective coatings and finished products including double and triple glazing. It analyzes glazing surfaces designed to maintain certain light transmission or color, and solar characteristics such as reflection or control of heat loss obtained with coatings. Its three-detector design scans a range from 175 nanometers to 3,300 nanometers, according to a company release.
