508PV™ Microscope Spectrophotometer: Easily Add Spectroscopy to Your Microscope

Optical microscopes or probe stations can benefit from adding spectroscopy and digital color imaging with the 508PV^TMmicroscope spectrophotometer. The 508PV™ can also be used to upgrade older microspectrometers with new capabilities as well as new detectors, electronics and software.

A suitable microscope can gather transmission, reflectance, polarization, or even fluorescence and luminescence spectra of microscopic samples when used with the 508PV^TM, which connects to an open photoport.

The 508PV^TM spectrophotometer, which uses CRAIC's Lightblades^TM spectrophotometer technology, has a useful spectral range that extends from ultraviolet to near-infrared. Users may quickly, easily, and non-destructively obtain high-quality spectra of even sub-micron samples with the 508PV^TM.

For a wide range of applications, including colorimetry of pixels on flat panel displays, reflectometry of vitrinite coal and petroleum source rock, and thin film thickness measurements of semiconductors and optics, the 508PV^TM microscope spectrophotometer is perfect. Upgrading outdated microspectrometers to the newest models with the most recent hardware and software is also affordable with the 508 PV^TM.

It is possible to set up the 508 PV^TM Microscope Spectrophotometer to record spectra in the deep ultraviolet to near-infrared range. It can be used with a microscope to obtain absorbance, reflectance, and fluorescence spectra and pictures.
