Lambda 1050 UV-VIS-NIR Spectrophotometer
The Perkin Elmer Lambda 1050 is a UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer covering ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared wavelengths. The Lambda 1050 is equipped with an interchangeable three-detector module using PMT, InGaAs, and PbS detectors for wide spectral coverage. The Lambda 1050 is designed for reflectance, transmission, and absorption measurements and is ideally suited for photovoltaic, wafer, and coating characterization including solar cell reflectance and antireflection studies.[1]
What it is
The Perkin Elmer Lambda 1050 is a UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer. The Perkin Elmer Lambda 1050 covers ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared wavelengths. The Perkin Elmer Lambda 1050 is designed for reflectance, transmission, and absorption measurements.[5]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA spectrophotometer in this class directs selected wavelengths of light to a sample and measures the light that passes through the sample or returns from it. Reflectance accessories and integrating spheres are used in this class to capture direct and scattered light from surfaces and coatings. Detector changes in this class extend useful sensitivity across ultraviolet, visible, and near infrared regions.
Where it fits in the process flow
The Perkin Elmer Lambda 1050 is employed for photovoltaic, wafer, and coating characterization, including solar cell reflectance and antireflection studies. Measurements are performed on samples that have been coated or processed to confirm that optical performance meets design specifications.[5][1]
