Typical Specifications

Wavelength Range

Typically covers the UV (e.g., 190-400 nm) and Visible (e.g., 400-1100 nm) spectrum.

Optical System

Commonly a single-beam design, suitable for routine measurements.

Light Sources

Typically features a Deuterium lamp for UV and a Tungsten-Halogen lamp for Visible light.

Bandwidth

For this class of equipment, a fixed bandwidth (e.g., 2 nm) is common.

Detector

Often a silicon photodiode or similar, providing good sensitivity across the range.

Interface

Many units include an RS-232C interface for data output or PC control.

Power Supply

Typically operates on standard laboratory mains power, e.g., 230V, 50Hz.
