What it is

The Lambda 14 is offered with 0.5 nm, 1.0 nm, 2.0 nm, or 4.0 nm resolution. The Lambda 14 is specified with 230V, 50/60 Hz power requirements.[1][2][3]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A spectrophotometer directs light through or onto a sample and measures how the sample changes the light. The instrument can be used to quantify absorption, transmission, or reflectance as a function of wavelength.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

A UV-visible spectrometer generally sits in laboratory or metrology use rather than in inline process control. The instrument supports measurement and verification work on samples taken from a process flow.

The Lambda 14 fits optical characterization tasks that require comparison of sample response across wavelength. The instrument can support analysis work that follows material preparation, film formation, or other sample conditioning steps.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

A UV-visible spectrometer is used for optical characterization of liquids, solids, coatings, films, and optical components. The instrument class supports quantitative optical data for characterization and quality control.
