Cary 7000 Universal Measurement Spectrophotometer (UMS)

Description

The Cary 7000 Universal Measurement Spectrophotometer (UMS) from Agilent Technologies is an instrument designed for comprehensive optical analysis of solid materials. It operates across a broad wavelength spectrum from 175 to 3300 nm, encompassing UV, visible, and near-infrared light. The system is particularly suited for characterizing optical components, thin films, coatings, and glass. A primary capability is the measurement of absolute specular reflectance and transmittance without moving the sample; these measurements can be performed at variable angles of incidence and with selectable polarization states (s or p). The large sample chamber provides flexibility for independent positioning of the detector and sample. Scanning speeds are configurable, reaching up to 2000 nm/min in the UV-Vis and 8000 nm/min in the NIR. Spectral bandwidth is adjustable from 0.01 to 5.00 nm in the UV-Vis and from 0.04 to 20 nm in the NIR. The instrument's high dynamic range allows for the analysis of samples with high optical density. Automated sequences enable multi-sample, multi-angle analyses for efficient, unattended operation.
