What is it?

The F10-VC captures reflectance and transmittance spectra with a single mouse click and is described as providing min/max, FWHM, and color analysis capabilities. Optional thickness and index measurement modules are stated to extend its analytical functions, and each model includes the items needed to connect to a computer for simultaneous reflectance and transmittance measurements.
