Getting started-Scan

  1. Turn on the device and turn on the computer; don’t start the software immediately.
  2. Open the folder on desktop "Cary Eclipse" and choose the task "Scan".
  3. Go to scan set-up to put the desired setting (see below).
  4. Press Ok and then press the start button to start the measurement.

Scanning Set-Up

I Three modes of operation are offered: fluorescence, phosphorescence and bio-/chemi-luminescence.

II Select the measurement to perform: excitation, emission and synchronous (scans with a constant wavelength or wavenumber difference between monochromators to resolve multi-component mixtures).

III Select to scan in wavelength, wavenumber, angstroms or electron volts.

IV Set excitation and starting and ending wavelengths.

V Precise control over how much signal averaging is done and how frequently data points are collected.
