Introduction

The Microspectra 1™ Microscope Photometer is designed to add photometry and imaging to your optical microscope.  Actually, the Microspectra 1™ is better described as a microscope radiometer in that it has a spectral range from the deep UV to the near infrared.  It is limited only by the microscope itself. 

The Microspectra 1™ microphotometer attaches to your microscope and enables you to collect transmission, reflectance or even fluorescence and luminescence photometric data of microscopic samples. The solid state detectors have dynamic ranges and sensitivities greater than PMTs or imaging systems.  With complete software control, either broad- or narrow-band photometric intensity measurements can be made.  Additionally, with the use of CRAIC reference materials, precise photometric intensities can be recorded relative to the reference material.  With the Microspectra 1™ microphotometer, high quality photometry of even sub-micron samples can be done quickly, non-destructively and easily.
