Add spectroscopy to your microscope

The 508PV™ microscope spectrophotometer adds spectroscopy and digital color imaging to your optical microscope or probe station. It can also be used to upgrade an older microspectrometer with cutting edge optics, electronics and software.

The 508PV™ attaches to an open photoport and enables you to collect transmission, reflectance, polarization or even fluorescence and luminescence spectra of microscopic samples with a properly equipped microscope.  Featuring the Lightblades™ spectrometer technology from CRAIC, the 508PV™ microscope spectrophotometer has a usable spectral range from the ultraviolet to the near infrared.  With the 508PV™, you can acquire high quality spectra of even sub-micron samples rapidly, non-destructively and with ease.

The 508PV™ microscope spectrophotometer is ideal for diverse applications such as colorimetry of pixels on flat panel displays, reflectometry of vitrinite coal and source rock, or thin film thickness measurements of optics and semiconductors. The 508PV™is also a cost effective way to upgrade older microspectrometers to the latest hardware and software.
