Short description

The LAMBDA 950 is a spectrometer for measuring the reflection, absorption und transmission of diffrenct samples in a wavelength range from 170nm bis 3300nm. A build-in InGaAs integrating sphere enables measurement of diffuse scattered light.

Detailed description

Most important rules first

a. When turning off the device wait for at least 10 minutes before turning it on again. Otherwise you will damage the lamps.

b. Always turn off the lamps if the device is not used for a while. If not used for a longer period, turn the device off completely! If someone has an appointment shortly after you – please coordinate.

Getting started

a. Turn on the device and turn on the computer; don’t start the software immediately.

b. Wait a few minutes before starting the software. Otherwise you might encounter problems during your measurement as the device could not properly set itself up.

c. A useful tool for setup is “manual control”. Here you can apply different settings for observing the changes in beam size, detector signal, make quick measurement as a single wavelength, etc.

Go to “Instruments”, click on “LAM950”, and select “Manual Control”.

d. Measurements are usually performed with “Scan”.

e. Always check the complete beam path. Are there obstacles? A lens? An iris? Is the reflection standard at the end installed?
